Did you know you can Save a Dog and at the same time Empower a Person?

Puppy Raising for CrittersWork Service Dog Partners does just that.

The dog you mentor for CrittersWork will have the best opportunity of becoming a service, assistance, hearing, psychiatric assistance or therapy dog for some person who desperately needs the skills this dog could provide.

Your efforts will not only give this dog a forever home that creates an extremely special relationship for person and dog, this dog becomes a life changing partner.

Recent statistics report that more than 19 percent of our population over age five suffer from a disability. Together we can benefit the daily lives of many people by partnering them with a Service Dog.

This all starts with YOU, Puppy Raisers are an essential part of our organization. The Puppy Raiser fosters a service dog candidate under the age of sixteen months from anywhere between four to fourteen months.

Be part of the solution!

Service Dogs are capable of retrieving items, opening and closing doors, pulling wheelchairs, stabilizing a person who needs assistance walking, alerting the hearing impaired to important sounds, and even searching for a person afflicted with Alzheimer’s or Autism.

Help us make changes in two lives.

You’ll be glad you did.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. ~Herm Albright, quoted in Reader's Digest, June 1995
