Puppy fosters are responsible for providing full-time care for a puppy in training, ranging in age anywhere from 8 weeks to 8 months old. They also help set the foundations for a dog's time in our training program by helping to provide the early stages of their training, i.e., crate training, potty training, basic commands, and social skills with the assistance of our Puppy Program Coordinator, Sarah Kornegay. We ask that puppy fosters be able to commit a minimum of 3 months to a puppy when applying to be a part of the program.
Canines for Service provides all materials needed included food and veterinary costs.
No one is expected to be a professional dog trainer. All that we ask is that you care for the puppy in your home and dedicate the time to help set them up for success early on in their service dog training career. Volunteers like you can help us change the life of a veteran one puppy at a time.
All home types welcome (house with a yard, house without a yard, apartments)
Other pets and/or children in the home are welcome & actually great for early exposure for the puppies in training.
