Sponsor a Puppy
Individuals, companies, schools, or organizations can sponsor a puppy as it is being raised and learning to become a service dog. With a minimum donation of just $250, the sponsoring person or organization will have the honor of naming the puppy and receiving a “paw”-signed photo of the pup named. Additional sponsorship opportunities include tickets to the puppy’s graduation ceremony, progress updates, gift packages and more!

- Covering routine medical care and vaccinations for the service dog in training.
Providing a quality CST leash, collar, and vest for the service dog’s working life. - Providing food, toys, and enrichment for the puppy while in training.
