Help Guide Dog Puppies in Training!

We are looking for dog lovers to help support our guide dog puppies during their puppy training period (puppies range from 2 months to 16 months old). Our main needs are sitters (short term care providers for various pups) and raisers (main caretaker/trainer/socializer for one pup for your preferred time period ranging from 2-14 months) but we also need volunteers to be "class helpers", socialize pups on campus, help with social media, organize tabling opportunities, and more. No dog experience required!
