Description

Would you like to learn more about Hero Dogs? Are you interested in volunteering*? Are you a veteran or first responder who may be interested in applying to receive a service dog?

The first hour of the presentation will include:

  • Mission and background of Hero Dogs,
  • Overview of Hero Dogs programs,
  • Live demonstration of service dog skills, and
  • Outline of volunteer opportunities

Then we will break for a tour of the facility. Those interested in applying for a service dog, their family members and other advocates, and anyone interested in learning more about partnering with a service dog should plan to stay for the second half of the presentation which will include:

  • The Hero Dogs application process
  • Team training
  • Living with a service dog
  • Q & A

*All Hero Dogs volunteers and potential volunteers must attend this session at least once before volunteering. This is also a great event for youth groups to attend to learn about service dogs.

Please note: directions to the facility will be e-mailed on the Friday before the event to those who have registered.
