You can host (aka foster) an assistance-dog-in-training in your home for 2 weeks!

Many of our dogs spend 8 months in training with carefully chosen inmate handlers at Jackson Correctional Institution.

The puppies go to volunteers' homes for 2 weeks during their time in the training program, in order to learn good house manners and get exposed to as many social and public situations as possible.

Can Do Canines provides knowledgeable training staff to support you, all of the dog food, and vet care.

By helping host a future assistance dog in your home, 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.

Plus, you get to snuggle with a life changing dog!
