VOLUNTEERS
As with any service dog organization, committed volunteers play an important role in the journey from puppy to placement. Our task would be so much harder without the help of the many youth and adult volunteers who have chosen to join us on this “journey”. Contrary to popular belief, it is far more than puppy snuggles and furry contentment, though that is part of it too. It takes a lot of time, energy, dedication and hard work to produce even one well-trained service dog. For those who choose to run with our pack, the experience of being part of a miracle is what keeps them coming back. It’s not every day you have the opportunity...the “Golden Opportunity” to help change a life...and don’t be surprised if one of the lives you change is your own!
