September 8, 2015, Volume 62, No. 04 |
The Penn Vet Working Dog Center needs families to foster dogs. The mission of the Center is to raise and train detection dogs, including Diabetes Alert Dogs, Urban Search & Rescue Dogs and Cancer Detection Dogs.
How does the program work? Dogs attend school at the Working Dog Center from Monday through Friday. Dogs are dropped off between 7-9 a.m. and they are picked up between 5-7 p.m. Penn Vet has puppies and grown dogs that need fosters. The dogs are primarily Labrador Retrievers and German Shepherds.
What does it mean to be a foster? Dogs live with the foster family when they are not in school. Fosters are not required to be a trainer. Penn Vet Working Dog Center trainers will provide the necessary guidance to foster a dog for success. The Penn Vet Working Dog Center will provide all the supplies needed including food, crates and medical care.
