Volunteer

Together We Stand

The volunteers of Golden Healer Service Dogs are the backbone of our organization. Without our puppy raisers, puppy sitters, volunteers, and sponsors we would not be able to provide the finest trained service dogs, emotional support dogs, and therapy dogs to our amazing recipients.

Puppy Raiser

Puppy Raiser

Have you ever thought about being a puppy raiser for a future service dog? Well, here’s your chance! This is your opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life and in the life of a dog.

The Puppy Raiser family shares their home with the dog, teaching it to be a good citizen. This involves house-training the pup, teaching it basic obedience and most importantly, socializing the pup and exposing it to everyday activities such as shopping, riding a bus, going to church, soccer games, getting used to all types of people and animals, etc. The formal service dog training begins once it meets the standard requirements and returns to Golden Healer Service Dogs, generally 1 year to 18 months.

Puppy Sitter

Puppy Sitter

Have you wanted to get involved with making an impact on someone’s life but don’t have a lot of time to commit? Being a puppy sitter may be the perfect solution for you. Our puppy sitters will have the same training and obligation as a puppy raiser but less time commitment. Puppy sitters help tend our puppies in training when our puppy raisers are traveling or on vacation.
