Description

Driver of pups between Rutgers University, NJ and our Brewster Training Center

A club of dedicated Rutgers University students has been raising some of our pups for us since 2023. We periodically need to ferry pups to or from Rutgers University and our Brewster Training Center (about 80 miles one way). We'll pay all tolls and $.70/mile if you don't want to donate that as well to us.

Best if you have a large vehicle, and must have a safe driving record.

Putnam Service Dogs provides service dogs to Veterans with PTSD and people with physical disabilities other than blindness. We train carefully selected rescue dogs as our service dogs. We're a 501(c)3, 4* Charity Navigator nonprofit.

Instructions:

You will be transporting up to 3 dogs and 6 crates at a time, 40 lb bags of food, etc., so a large vehicle (pick up, van, etc) is best. You must be able to pick up 50 lbs. and be comfortable with city driving. We'll need you the end of August, before and after Thanksgiving and winter break, and at the end of April to pick the pups up before the semester ends. If you're not available all of these times, some is fine. We'll reimburse tolls, and $.70/mile.
