Become a Socializer

As a socializer, you will take a dog home with you and provide a solid foundation to grow into life-changing service dogs. When on a break from our prison training program, these dogs will be in your care as if they were your own, exposing them to various new environments, including a workplace, if permissible.

Socializer Responsibilities

  • Attend weekly training classes
  • Supply the basic essentials, such as food, bowls, crate, bed, leash and toys.
  • Provide routine needs, including feeding, grooming, exercise and socialization.
