    Description

    Puppy Raiser

    Want to make a difference? Change a life? Live with a great dog? Raise a service dog pup for 6, 12, or 18 months? If you live within an hour of Brewster, NY here's your chance!

    Our trainers will guide you carefully as you raise a pup for us. We can't provide our free service dogs to people with physical disabilities without their being raised in a loving home situation. You'll care for, exercise, train and socialize (in snippets, and under the direction of our trainers), and love the pup. You'll train the pup in house manners, beginning obedience and help launch them on their journey to being a rare, valuable service dog for someone in need.
