Love Puppies? Become a puppy raiser & change lives

Looking for an exciting volunteer opportunity that will change lives? Dogs for Better Lives is seeking Puppy Raisers in your area! Puppy raisers help build strong foundations for our puppies who have the potential to become future Assistance Dogs.

Our raisers attend training classes, teach our puppies basic obedience and good manners, provide a safe home environment, and help expose the puppy to a multitude of different environments, people, surfaces, and other stimuli.
Our puppy raisers receive a puppy at approximately eight (8) weeks of age and continue to raise the puppy until it is between 12 to 14 months…

Mission Statement

Dogs for Better Lives' mission is to professionally train dogs to help people and enhance lives while maintaining a lifelong commitment to all dogs we rescue or breed and the people we serve.

Description

Dogs for Better Lives professionally trains dogs to become Hearing Assistance Dogs, Facility Dogs, and Autism Assistance Dogs. We do this at a minimal cost of an application fee to the client.

Dogs for Better Lives travels to the client for an interview. Following the application process the dog is delivered to the client by the Certified Assistance Dog Trainer that trained the dog. The Trainer spends several days supporting the client in their daily activities with their new Assistance dog.

Dogs for Better Lives maintains a lifelong commitment to our clients and dogs!
