VOLUNTEER
We're always looking for motivated and talented volunteers. Our volunteers work both from a distance and in our facilities. Tasks include assisting with dog walking, administration and basic animal care. Moreover, volunteers can also help with fundraising, advocacy, education, administrative support, special events, volunteer coordination, fostering and so much more.
DONATE
An average service dog costs approximately $35,000 depending on the training the service dog will undergo. No donation is too little. A 20$ donation will help provide a service dog with a proper collar and leash. A 50$ donation will help provide a comfortable bed. A 800$ donation will help us procure a potential service dog for our program.
BECOME A FOSTER FAMILY
Fostering an animal means you take a service dog in training into your home and care for them for us. While they’re in your home, we provide you with food and medical care until the pet is available for the training module. Foster families help our service dogs with socialization and love. All our dogs are large breeds ranging from the classic labrador to golden retriever to Bernese mountain dogs.
