Volunteers for Puppy Development play a crucial role in supporting SDV's breeding program. They assist the staff with round-the-clock care for eight (8) weeks for our youngest future service dogs and provide affection to their mother dog. Besides facilitating physical and mental growth, volunteers also help with daily tasks to ensure cleanliness and safety. Applicants should be at least 18 years old, complete a necessary training course, and live within commuting distance since litters stay in Charlottesville VA..

SDV typically has 2-3 litters per year. Please register below to receive updates about our future litters.
