Looking for a FuRRend for the weekend? Join our team of weekend companion homes who support our dogs in the advanced stages of the training program.
We are looking for committed and dedicated individuals to help Paragon service dogs in advaned training get off campus for the weekend. You can spend your weekends with a well-trained, adorable dog and change the life of a person who is d/Deaf or hard of hearing.
- There is no financial commitment, and no prior dog training experience is needed. Paragon will give you all the tools, training, and supplies for a weekend stay. Extended stays are also somtimes available. Training and ongoing support are provided.
- For the weekend program, you'll pick up your dog at our facility in Longmont on Thursday afternoon/evening drop them off on Monday morning. Paragon asks each foster to fill out a weekend report so our trainers can determine the next steps in the dog's training.
A weekend companion home's role is to maintain the dog's training, make observations of the dog, and provide a safe and loving home for their stay. In return, you get to have a wonderful dog companion for the weekend and support our mission of creating exceptional partnerships between dogs and handlers.
