• chauffeuring to important appointments
• explaining why sticks are not food
• introducing puppies to the world
• offering cuddles when requested
• occasionally asking, "How did you get that?"

Applicants should be prepared for puppy breath, puppy zoomies, puppy shenanigans, and the possibility of falling completely in love.

The puppies will stay with their raisers until they are about a year old, learning the foundations they need to become future service dogs. You'll help them explore new places, meet new people, practice good manners, and build confidence.

The good news? You don't have to know how to train a service dog. Our team will provide training, support, classes, and guidance along the way.

The puppies are adorable. The mission is life-changing. The memories are unforgettable.

If you've ever thought, "You know what my life needs? A tiny yellow shadow with very big career goals," we'd love to talk with you.

Send us a message to learn more about becoming a puppy raiser. These two little recruits will be reporting for duty soon.
