Hi friends. Please consider joining Prim's training team. As noted below a volunteer is needed to finish Prim's service dog training. The goal is to find a volunteer to work along-side the Jacobson family for a month or so with full transition to the new puppy raiser home by June 1st. The Jacobson Family is doing a wonderful job with Prim and realize that while they love her the goal is for Prim to help another person live a full and enriched life with Prim by their side.

If you can help, or know someone who can, please email me at info@perfectfitcanines.org.

I look forward to speaking with you.

As of June, we will need to find a loving, dedicated volunteer replacement for our family. Prim is 17 months old, housebroken, very smart and very energetic. You should be prepared to have her for about a year and attend training classes twice a month with Perfect Fit Canines. If you are interested or know of someone who may be, please DM me and I can provide further details. Prim is really a wonderful pup and it has been a privilege to be able to help train her for the work she will ultimately do and the people she will help.





TOGETHER WE CAN CHANGE A LIFE!

People needing service dogs need your help.

Seeking individuals, families or groups to volunteer as puppy raisers so we can make more moments like this possible.



Please contact Susan via info@perfectfitcanines.org to learn more about how you can help.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Mission Statement

It is the mission of this organization to provide a service dog which is perfectly trained to meet the social, emotional and physical needs of handicapped individuals.

Description

Since 2010 Perfect Fit Canines has been training service dogs to aid those in need. The organization initially concentrated on providing service dogs for those with autism and then expanded to train service dogs for various health conditions including balance, psychiatric support, cardiac conditions and diabetes. Perfect Fit Canines has also trained a facility dog for a school dedicated to autism. We rely on dedicated volunteers to provide loving homes to the service dogs in training, socialize them in public and obedience training. Without these dedicated individuals we would not be able to fulfill our mission. Perfect Fit Canines provides all veterinary costs, equipment costs and the cost of training classes. The volunteer is responsible only for the cost of food, treats and toys.
