Volunteer to raise a puppy and be a part of something truly life changing! Canine Companions Puppy Raising Program provides a unique opportunity for volunteers from all over the country to assist with our very important mission of providing service dogs to people with disabilities. As a puppy raiser, you'll play a vital role in preparing our future service dogs. No dog experience is necessary- option for a mentor for first-time raisers. Most commit to raising a puppy for its full journey, but options for co-raising or shorter-term assistance are also available. Opportunity to join an extraordinary community of other puppy raisers, volunteers & graduates. Excellent service project opportunity for homeschool, FFA, 4-h & other community organizations. Here's what's required for the 14-18 month journey: Provide a safe & loving environment for a puppy (the only dog under 12 months old in your home). Teach the puppy manners and basic skills- we'll show you how to do this! You’ll join a supportive network of experienced volunteers. Work closely with Canine Companions to monitor the puppy’s progress. Be responsible for food & feeding a recommended diet, veterinary expenses and attend an average of two puppy classes/month (either ran by Canine Companions or pre-approved classes) Transport the dog to the regional training center at the projected turn-in time. Provide the puppy with age-appropriate socialization opportunities, such as public outings and veterinary appointments. Keep the puppy on a leash at all times, unless supervised in a securely fenced area. Use a kennel or crate for sleeping indoors. Supervise the puppy throughout the day (some volunteers are able to obtain permission to bring their puppy to work).
