Volunteers are needed for 12 puppies that can one day become national service dogs.
The agency issued an urgent call Monday for potential puppy raisers in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph and the surrounding area.
National Service Dogs said the four-week-old Labrador retriever is now staying at a Woodstock hospital. They will stay there until the puppies are eight weeks old, then they will move on to new foster homes.
The agency is looking for volunteers who can raise a dog for about a year and teach them good behavior at home and in public. As part of the preparation to become service dogs, the puppies are expected to tag along wherever the volunteer goes, whether it’s work, restaurants, stores or sporting events.
National Service Dogs says all food, veterinary care and medication will be provided free of charge while the little labs are in training.
The agency asks anyone interested in volunteering to visit its website to apply.
