| Puppy Raiser Our puppies are placed into volunteer homes at 8 weeks of age. The puppy raiser then attends training class once per week to learn training techniques and commands. The puppy raiser also gets to take their dog in training everywhere, including their place of employment! After placement, the puppy raiser is also required to participate in field trips out in public alongside Canine Co-Pilots trainers. The dogs come back to us between 15-21 months of age to prepare them for placement with a person with a disability. View the puppy raiser contract. |
| Breeder Caretaker When dogs are selected to become breeders for the program, they are placed into breeder caretaker homes. Canine Co-Pilots retains ownership of the dogs, but the dog lives with the caretaker as his/her pet. Canine Co-Pilots will contact the breeder caretaker prior to a scheduled breeding, and it is the caretaker's responsibility to bring the dog to us. Pregnant females return to us 2 weeks prior to delivery and stay with Canine Co-Pilots staff for 5-6 weeks after delivery. The breeder caretaker is allowed to visit the mom and pups at this time. View the breeder caretaker contract. |
Canine Co-Pilots frequently organizes and participates in events to fund-raise and promote awareness of our organization. Volunteers can help man booths, walk in parades, hand out information packets and assist with general public relations. |
