| We are in need of puppy sitters. The job of a puppy sitter is to take the puppies home for an overnight visit and to socialize them by bringing them to restaurants, grocery stores, church, etc. They are service dogs in training so it is encouraged that they go into public places where they will be allowed to go once they become certified and are under the protection of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). Puppy sitters are asked to help with the training by reinforcing what they have already learned. We supply crates, food and toys. If you are interested please e-mail KingD@pbso.org |
| Debbie King works at the Stockade and is our best puppy sitter! She takes the puppies home almost every weekend! She says "My husband always reminds me to make sure I don't forget to bring them home! He loves them!" |
| Each puppy has a team of two trainers. That way, when one trainer completes her sentence there is still another trainer to help out. |
| Special Thanks to the Animal Rescue League for employing two of our trainers as kennel helpers. We appreciate their belief in second chances. |
| Special thanks to Dr. Berkenblit and his staff at Village for taking such great care of Tivo and Tash, and many other local service dogs. |
| Cold noses warming hearts behind bars. |
