Description
Do you want to cuddle with a life-changing dog?
Sitters host dogs in their homes for 6 or less days at a time. Sitters help when the dogs' Raisers (also known as 'fosters') go on vacation.
You choose dogs to bring into your home based on:
- Dates they are looking for hosts
- How old they are (you choose from dogs who are between 10 weeks and 2.5 years of age)
- What city they are located in
Can Do Canines provides the dog food and monthly preventatives, and covers the vet care costs!
Sitters should expect to:
- Provide daily exercise for the dog
- Help maintain household manners
- Bring the dogs to vet appointments in New Hope, MN
- Give the dog time to take it easy and be a puppy
By helping as a Sitter for a future assistance dog, you are enhancing the quality of life for people with disabilities. These dogs will grow up to bring their people more freedom, independence, and peace of mind.
