Doggie Does Good, Inc Puppy Raiser

We are looking for puppy raisers for our upcoming puppies! Between now and July, we will be getting several puppies (Labs, Goldens and Doodles). Puppy raising can be a solo or family experience. College students welcome! A puppy raiser is a foster who cares for the puppy for the first 8-10months of its life. The primary goal is to socialize the puppy by bringing it everywhere with you and to start the very basic tasks like Sit, Down, Stay etc. Before you pick up your puppy, a service dog trainer spends an hour with you going over exactly how to train and care for the puppy. We cover all food and vaccine expenses. We also provide collar, leash, kennel and everything else you need to care for the puppy. The only out of pocket cost for our raisers are any additional treats, toys, or clothes they might buy for their puppy. Once the puppy returns to DDG, it starts service dog training! We always reach out to the puppy raiser to invite them back for the graduation process. https://www.volunteerslo.org/need/detail/?need_id=587976The Marine Mammal Center
