Love dogs and like helping people? Help a service dog in training!

Dogs for Better Lives has a unique opportunity to transform shelter dogs into service dogs for people with disabilities. You can play an important part in this transformative and life changing journey by fostering a shelter dog that has been evaluated and selected for this important work.

What does this opportunity look like?

• Welcome a carefully selected shelter or rescue dog into your home for up to 6 months
• Dogs train with Dogs for Better Lives (DBL) professional service dog trainers during the day Monday - Friday at the DBL training location in Central Point, OR. They spend the evenings and weekends relaxing with you at home
• Work with Dogs for Better Lives staff on helping reinforce training at home
• Coordinate with DBL staff on dropoff and pickup at the training location or your home
• Dogs for Better Lives provides all necessary resources including veterinary care, dog food, toys and equipment (food and water bowl, crate, etc.)
• Be happy knowing that you've not only given a second chance to a dog in need, but have also helped provide safety and independence to a child or adult with a disability
• This is a great way for the whole family to be engaged in something special
