About This Opportunity
With support from NSD staff and our whelping program, you would host the litter of puppies for about 8 weeks in your home. This includes keeping the puppies’ area clean and stimulating for both mom and her puppies.
The main goal at this stage is to care for and socialize the puppies until they are ready to start training with their puppy raisers.
This volunteer role requires a flexible schedule so that the volunteer can focus the majority of their time on the litter of puppies during this crucial period of development.
The volunteer's home - a clean, quiet space. It does not need to be all that big, but it should allow Mom and her puppies to have quiet time.
The volunteer must live within 45 minutes of NSD (1286 Cedar Creek Rd), have no children under the age of 5 living in the house, and a maximum of 2 dogs in their home that are over 1 year of age.
