DBA Dogs Inc shines as a volunteer-based organization, with more than 1,000 volunteers, including campus volunteers, puppy raisers, puppy-parent hosts, and board members. These wonderful people contribute more than $13 million worth of service hours annually, enabling us to offer far more value and services than we could otherwise afford. * Campus volunteers: More than 300 dedicated volunteers support daily operations, including conducting early puppy education, operating our gift shop, serving at our reception desk, providing onsite tours, serving as ambassadors, assisting in administrative special projects, taking photos, speaking at events, and caring for our dogs on campus. * Puppy raisers: More than 300 puppy raisers throughout the United States foster our young puppies, providing early training for future working dogs from ages 8 weeks to 14-16 months. These volunteers teach our pups basic skills and house manners while providing socialization experiences in real-world environments. * Puppy-parent hosts: About 75 local volunteers provide loving homes, healthy environments, and on-call transportation for reproductive services for dogs selected by our state-of-the-art genetics and reproduction department to serve as puppy parents. * Board members: Our governing board is comprised of 12 business and community leaders throughout the United States who provide important direction and oversight to the organization. |
