Puppy Raiser Program
Become a puppy raiser
Protection Dogs and Service Dogs aren't just born they are raised
Puppy Raisers provide specially bred puppies a safe home, take them to obedience classes, serve up a healthy diet, provide socialization opportunities and give lots and lots of love.
Each hour spent caring for a K9 Unleashed puppy is vital to its development as a future protection dog. The puppy raising program provides a unique opportunity for puppy raisers to assist with our very important mission.
Please note: You must be at least 18 years old to be a puppy raiser. Those under the age of 18 must have a parent or legal guardian as a co-applicant on the puppy raiser application and contract.

-
Provide a safe environment for a puppy who will be the only dog under 1 year old in the house
