Donate your time and effort by making the commitment to raise one of our Service Dog candidate puppies.

We provide the support and training classes, you provide the day to day living environment for the healthy growth, socialization and foundational training of our future Service Dogs.

You will be central to helping put the behavioral fundamentals into place so that our young dogs’ service potential can be identified. Suitable dogs are then matched to an appropriate client and the final, specialized phase training begins.

The foundations laid in the Service Dog Candidate Program help ensure the dogs can be trained to perform a wide range of client-specific Service tasks.

CSD covers vaccinations and sterilization veterinary expenses. Maintenance expenses (food, supplies, etc.) you incur may be tax deductible.

You must agree to follow all CSD guidelines and requirements in the care, handling and training of our dogs.
