Putnam Service Dogs is a 9 year old, 501(c)3, 4* Charity Navigator nonprofit. We seek a willing volunteer(s) to assist us in grantwriting, and building donor relationships. Previous experience a huge plus, but what is most important is passion to support our Mission. Passion is the most essential quality to recruit people and grantmakers to support our cause. Excellent communication and people skills are also key.

We provide free service dogs to Veterans with PTSD, and people with physical disabilities other than blindness. We train carefully selected rescue dogs as our Service Dogs.

Here's who we are:

Putnam Service Dogs (Putnam County, NY) is a nonprofit that transforms rescue dogs into life-changing Service Dogs for veterans with PTSD and people with physical disabilities. By championing the unique personalities and needs of each dog, the organization ensures a humane, relationship-centered training process that fosters powerful connections between dogs and their people. Each match is determined by the dog's natural bond with the recipient, creating partnerships that are truly transformative.

From selecting rescue pups with exceptional temperaments to providing extensive training in a home-like setting, Putnam Service Dogs is committed to empowering both dogs and their new companions. With ongoing support and resources, the organization helps recipients build lasting, meaningful relationships with their service dogs, ensuring that both lives are changed for the better.
