We at Can Do Canines are very excited that you are interested in being a part of our assistance dog program!
'Great Start’ volunteering is a way to help on a short term basis, but still be a part of assistance dog training. After our puppies leave the weaning prison around 10 weeks old, those bound for our puppy raising prisons will first need to go to a Great Start home for ten weeks to begin early socialization, basic obedience, and potty and crate training.
Once a prospective foster home completes an application, a staff person will contact them to attend an orientation and schedule a home visit.
Application information can be found by visiting volunteer.can-do-canines.org.
