Christy Gardner pauses with her dogs Doug, right, and Libby on Tuesday morning before checking in on the progress of the new Mission Working Dogs campus on Moxie Place in Oxford. When completed, the campus will provide training for clients, who will stay in one of the 8 Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant cabins while they train their dog in a large training center close by. Gardner, the nonprofit’s founder and president, and her staff will also work with dogs that they train for other clients and that are housed in a kennel on the center’s grounds.
