Description
Every puppy raiser gets to experience firsthand the incredible impact of an assistance dog. Whether it’s providing increased independence through our mobility service dogs, or offering comfort and motivation through our facility dogs, your time and dedication make this mission possible.
Our work is only possible because of our extraordinary volunteer team—and right now, we are in high need of new puppy raisers for a 6 to 14 month commitment.
We’ve Got Your Back (100% Covered):
- Zero Cost: We provide all vet care, quality puppy food, and essential gear.
- Total Teamwork: Continuous guidance, training tips, and support whenever you need an extra set of hands.
- Freedom to Travel: Need a weekend off or heading on vacation? Our awesome network of approved puppy sitters steps right in so you never have to scramble.
