ADNI Puppy Fostering Programme
We urgently need loving parents to help rear and train
some future stars and we have 10 new future assistant
dogs that require a loving and happy home
Would you like to help rear a loving Puppy?
Taking the form of weekly training classes, you will help develop the puppy
into a balanced and social assistance dog and learn what it takes for this
bundle of mischief to turn into a fully trained Assistance Dog.
We need you to provide the love, and the puppy provides the fun and games!
This is a very rewarding role
but we all know how hard it
may seem to give your puppy
up after putting so much
time and effort into them,
but seeing them progress
and certify to become a
loving family pet and help a
family with disabilities is so
worthwhile and inspiring. You
also get the opportunity to
stay in touch with all the
people involved
