Puppy Raisers care for and help train our service dogs for 4-18 months before the dogs graduate and are placed with a forever Veteran. WCC covers the cost of food, approved vet appointments, medications, and service dog gear! Each puppy goes home with their Puppy Parent between the age of 8-12 weeks. To be considered for this important task, you must be willing and able to provide the following support and training for the WCC service dog in training:
-
- Provide the dog with access to new places, new people and new experiences
- Teach the dog manners and basic commands
- Provide a stable, safe, consistent and loving environment
- Attend weekly training classes, including social outings that build skills and confidence
- Ensure that the WCC dog is the only dog under the age of one in your home
- Agree to return the dog upon request
- Transport the dog to the veterinarian when necessary
- Depending on program location, you may be required to drop off/pick up the dog at the training office during the work week.
