Volunteer: Foster Puppy RaisersA Foster Puppy Raiser helps a person living with a disability by raising a dog that will enhance their independence and quality of life. Foster Puppy Raisers volunteer to raise a PAWS Puppy for 14-18 months, until it’s old enough to begin formal Assistance Dog training. During that time, the puppy lives in a Raiser’s home while they teach basic obedience and expose the dog to public environments it may experience with a client. Here’s a few things a prospective Raiser should know: We do not require dog training experience, just a willingness to learn You must be committed to teaching basic obedience and attending obedience classes You’ll need to expose your Foster Puppy to public environments at least twice a week We’ll provide you with a team of support to raise the best dog possible for a client Must live in the areas of: Grand Rapids, Lansing, Saginaw, Southwest or Southeast Michigan; Chicago, Illinois; Columbus, Ohio; or Tallahassee, FL.
