You love dogs and would like to be involved in helping dogs as they undergo training to become Service Dogs? This is a great opportunity to learn more about dogs while making a difference.

All our dogs come from rescues and shelters. At different times in our training process, the dogs could benefit from spending time away from our facility and into a caring home:

  • As they first come out of the rescue or shelter, before they come to our facility. When dogs are surrendered, they go through a great deal of stress and need some time to recover. It's also a time where you could help collecting valuable information about the dogs and making sure they will make good service dog candidates before they join the training program.

  • At any time during the 6 months that it takes for us to train them, our dogs can sometimes use a break. You can help by taking a dog home on occasion, for a weekend or a holiday and just give them some needed R & R.

  • Some of the dogs won't make it through the program and will need to find a home. While they wait for the right family to come along, they would be more comfortable in a home environment.​
