What better opportunity for a diverse and stimulating upbringing than RV life? The changing environments, new people, and unfamiliar objects on the road are fantastic for socialization and development. Plus, puppies make campfires cozier and hikes more enjoyable%u2014and nothing captures the spirit of adventure like a puppy discovering the world alongside you.No matter where you travel, the Dogs Inc team will support you every step of the way. You%u2019ll find optional puppy raiser clubs nationwide for socializing, skill practice, and expert guidance tailored to help both you and your pup thrive. And if you need a break, puppy sitters are always ready to step in.While puppy raising may steal your whole heart, it doesn%u2019t have to take all your time. As a volunteer puppy raiser, you have the flexibility to choose the commitment that works best for your lifestyle. Whether you raise a puppy for three months, six months, or a full year, you%u2019re helping to shape a future service dog%u2014and a brighter future for someone in need.And it gets even better! Co-raising offers a unique and fun way to share this incredible journey with others. You can team up with family, friends, colleagues, or even your local community to divide responsibilities and enjoy the experience together. Some volunteers choose to take on the challenge solo, building a special one-on-one bond with their puppy, while others thrive as part of a co-raising team, celebrating every milestone together. No matter which path you choose, you%u2019ll be making an extraordinary impact, one wagging tail and wet nose at a time.After their adventure with you, pups return to the Dogs Inc campus for advanced training at Canine University, where they%u2019ll work toward a future career. Goodbyes are hard, but, as experienced puppy raiser Meghan Watson says, %u201cI may want this puppy, but seeing someone who needs her%u2014nothing else compares. It makes it all worth it.%u201dImagine the joy of exploring new places, knowing each mile brings a puppy closer to becoming a life-changing companion for someone in need. Turn your next road trip into a mission of love and hope by welcoming a puppy into your journey for 3, 6, or 12 months%u2014and make your travels even more rewarding.Ready to change lives from the driver%u2019s seat of your RV?
