Help Transport Future Service Dog Puppies!

Canine Transport and fostering is a vital part of our volunteer initiative that offers volunteers a rewarding way to make an impact on a short-term and flexible schedule by providing essential care for our dogs! Assist by driving our future service dog puppies to a needed destination, including to/from the airport or to the puppy raiser. During transport, you’ll be a puppy concierge, helping ensure their overall wellness until they reach their desired destination, as well as provide them with required transportation equipment. Training supplies and guidelines will be provided to you.

How You'll Help:

• Pick up in the Cleveland area & drive the puppies to the required location- either to another airport or deliver the puppies to a volunteer.
• Prepare shipping crates for upcoming flights, including adding clean bedding, water, etc. (supplies provided).
• Ensure all puppy identification and accompanying records are kept in order and are consistent.
• If flying, deliver the puppies to the airport in plenty of time for their flight, understanding that the airlines have firm cut-off times and that cargo locations may be busy at popular times of day. Stay with the puppies until they're in a secure area.
• Provide wellness, care and support for the puppies - including keeping the crates clean & sanitary.
• Communicate closely with Canine Companions about the puppies’ whereabouts.

Requirements:

• Must have a valid driver’s license and a reliable, working vehicle
• Must follow guidelines provided by Canine Companions
• Must ensure the safety and well-being of the puppy or dog
• Must be flexible and understanding of last-minute changes in travel schedule
