Individuals or families needed immediately to volunteer to raise a puppy. You can give someone the gift of true independence by opening your home, volunteering your time and devoting nearly 2 years of your life to training a puppy through Phoenix Assistance Dogs.
Puppy raisers are assigned a puppy from our program, and by attending 1-2 classes monthly for up to 2 1/2 years, completely train their dog the necessary tasks needed to be a service dog. What the Puppy Raisers learn in class they apply with their own puppy in regular training sessions, socialization, and outings as well as over see the puppies health and well being.
Program pays for ALL veterinary care, food, and basic essentials (collar, crate, leash, etc).
No experience necessary! PUPPIES AVAILABLE NOW!
