Committed volunteers greatly improve our training program, community outreach, and events. We are very grateful for the help and always try to keep an upbeat atmosphere. People are expected to have fun, as long as we are being productive in the process. However, if volunteers do not properly follow the guidelines with the dogs, it can actually hinder the training process.
Service Dogs are working dogs. We ask that volunteers do not interact with them freely, as they do with their own pets or other animals. Because of the type of training our dogs are undergoing, volunteers must be conscientious during each interaction with our dogs and not approach, pet, or interact with them without a trainer’s guidance. If you have questions please ask a staff memeber.
If you sign up for an activity, we are counting on you to be there. If you must cancel, please do so as soon as possible. We ask for at least 48 hours notice prior to the activity, in order to allow us time to find someone else. If you “no show” more than 2 times without notice, you will no longer be scheduled for volunteer shifts.
