Looking for a FuRRend for the weekend? Join our team of fosters who support our dogs in the advanced stages of the training program.

We are looking for committed and dedicated individuals to help IHDI/ Paragon get the dogs that live on campus off campus the weekend.

  • There is no financial commitment, and no prior dog training is needed. IHDI will give you all the tools, training, and supplies for a weekend foster stay. Extended stays are available. All training and ongoing support are provided.
  • For the weekend program, pick up your foster dog on Thursday or Friday and drop them off on Monday morning. The foster will be responsible for all transportation to and from our facility in Longmont. IHDI asks each foster to fill out a detailed report so our trainers can determine the next steps in the dog's training.


A foster's role is to maintain the dog's training, make observations of the dog, and provide a safe and loving home for their stay.

However, we have become accredited by ADI, Assistant Dogs International, and now we can place facility dogs within communities they'll serve.
