Be a Hero for a Hero! Become a Baltimore Puppy Parent
July 21 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Puppy Parents raise our service dogs for approximately two years before the dogs graduate and are placed with a forever Veteran. Each puppy goes home with their Puppy Parent between the age of 8-12 weeks. To be considered for this important task, you must be willing and able to provide the following support and training for the WCC service dog in training:
– Provide a stable, safe, consistent and loving environment
– Provide the dog with access to new places, new people and new experiences
– Teach the dog manners and basic commands
– Attend weekly training classes, including social outings that build skills and confidence
– Ensure that the WCC dog is the only dog under the age of one in your home
– Agree to return the dog upon request
– Transport the dog to the veterinarian when necessary
– Depending on program location, you may be required to drop off/pick up the dog at the training office during the work week.
– WCC covers vet visits, medication, monthly preventatives, gear, and food!
