Main Line Deputy Dog helps people with disabilities train their own service dogs. Deputy Dogs perform tasks to help their human partners live more independently.
We have had a puppy donated to our organization, and need someone to house and train her for about 9 months. Love of dogs and dog training experience necessary. And you have to have the ability to give the dog up after months (!)
