Sleepover at your house with some adorable VIPs (Very Important Puppies )! We are looking for WEEKDAY local volunteers to join our Home Socialization program.
Home Socializers bring two puppies, ages 6 to 9 weeks, into their home for 3 to 5 days to provide socialization and reinforce simple aspects of the pups’ training. These include massage, leash walking, car riding, sitting for meals, crate time, name response, and other skills.
