Project2Heal is the only non profit in the country that researches, breeds, nurtures and begins training on Labrador retriever pups with proven pedigrees for service dog work. Our pups are donated to regional service dog organizations who train them for veterans with PTSD, loss of limbs and children with a variety of special needs.
Our work is labor intensive as whelping boxes need to be cleaned, pups need to be nurtured and handled when the are young. As they grow older they need to be taken out to social situations.
If you are interested in learning everything about dog training and behavior from puppy development through elimination of problem behaviors then this opportunity is for you. You will join our team of experienced trainers socializing pups and bringing them out in public for socialization.
Of course sanitation is a primary obligation of ensuring the health of our pups and is a daily requirement of all employees and volunteers.
If you are interested in making a difference in the life of a veteran or child with a special need, want to learn more about dog behavior and training and want to experience the peaceful envirnemt of interacting with puppies then please apply.
