For an adult dog, they will maintain their good house behaviors and socialization.
v Hours of Volunteering: Temping a puppy or adult dog for a scheduled time period.
v Requirements: Puppy orientation session, obedience training classes with our puppy, and a home visit by a Foundation representative. Veterinary care is covered by our veterinarians. Food is paid by the volunteer, approximately $50 per month.
