Dogs for Better Lives has a unique opportunity to transform shelter dogs into service dogs for people with disabilities. You can play an important part in this transformative and life changing journey by fostering a shelter dog that has been evaluated and selected for this important work.
What does this opportunity look like?
- Welcome a carefully selected shelter or rescue dog into your home for up to 6 months
- Dogs train with Dogs for Better Lives (DBL) professional service dog trainers during the day Monday - Friday at the DBL training location in Carrollton, TX. They spend the evenings and weekends relaxing with you at home
- Work with Dogs for Better Lives staff on helping reinforce training at home
- Coordinate with DBL staff on drop-off and pickup at the training location or your home
- Dogs for Better Lives provides all necessary resources including veterinary care, dog food, toys and equipment (food and water bowl, crate, etc.)
- Be happy knowing that you've not only given a second chance to a dog in need, but have also helped provide safety and independence to a child or adult with a disability
- This is a great way for the whole family to be engaged in something special
