Puppy Raisers are individuals committed to raising one of our puppies for 14 to 18 months. During that time they will be socializing the puppy and training the puppy in basic service dog skills. No dog training experience is required! We will train you to train the puppy.
Puppy Sitters have a more flexible time commitment; they watch the puppy when a puppy's Raiser(s) go out of town. Both positions are very much needed! To get more detail please click on the link below. If you are interested, please fill out a volunteer application (http://bit.ly/hdvolunteer) to start the volunteer process.
