How You Can Help
VOLUNTEER to be a service dog trainer!
We are looking for volunteer foster trainers for our dogs!
SCSD will choose a qualified dog for training with you. We provide crates, leashes, vests, veterinary care, Heartgard and Frontline, insurance, and all training sessions. All of our dogs and trainers take general obedience classes from Puppy Socialization through Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced sessions, Canine Good Citizen testing and special classes in training service dog skills.
We can give assistance in paying for dog food and treats if you are unable to provide the full cost of food.
You provide a safe home, socialization activities, ongoing training outside of classes, and feedback to the program on your candidates progress. You will have the time of your life as you use your time and talents to foster and train a dog that will become a source of love, companionship independence and confidence for a person with a physical disability.
Is it hard to give up a service dog trainee when the client and dog are ready to become a team? All of us shed tears at this event, but they are tears of joy and gratitude. And then you take another leash and another pup into your life and home and do it all over again!
Please contact us at 2ndchanceservicedogs@gmail.com and let us send you a volunteer application. We will interview and conduct a home visit and then start you on the journey of a lifetime!
