Puppy Raising Families
While in the Puppy Program, puppies are raised by volunteer foster families or 'puppy raisers'. During this time, Dogs for Kids trainers support puppies and their foster families in basic training, walking on lead, building confidence in unfamiliar environments and socialisation to ensure our puppies are confident and well socialised.
Eligibility criteria:
– must reside in metropolitan Melbourne or the Mornington Peninsula
– can not work for more than five hours a day
– can commit to caring for a puppy for up to twelve months
