Volunteer Application
We are accepting applications for Volunteers! Over the past year we have been fortunate to have Working dog’s for vets supporters volunteer their time to help our veterans and service dogs. There are many ongoing and special on-site work projects at Working dogs for vets, and across the United States, that we simply don’t have enough staff to accomplish, so we have come to rely on the kindness of volunteers to assist us in keeping up. Your efforts will benefit both the veterans and the many dogs rescued from shelters in an important way! Every task, no matter how big or small, matters in the lives of each of our Veteran/dog teams. You will undoubtedly have the time of your life as you work side by side with another Veteran/dog enthusiast on a group project.

Raising Public awareness: I agree, before taking a W.D.F.V. program dog out in public to businesses, or establishments W.D.F.V. program is setup to avoid conflict with the general public and local businesses by way of education and support. It is mandatory for Veterans and Volunteers to educate business owners. If the veteran is unable to do so volunteers are usually more than willing to help with this step. We have a form to help educate business owners about service dogs, service dogs in training, A.D.A laws both including disabled veterans rights and business owners rights and when starting your training out in public this makes it easier. We found by working with business owners many of them are supportive of veterans with program as we provide them with the knowledge they need prior to bringing service dogs to their establishment so that it will go smoothly. Prior to taking Program dog In training to a business must meet with owner and ask if we are welcome to take your dog in after supplying them the information. They can sign an agreement form,  If the business owner does not want us there we do not want to be there. We want to support businesses that support us.
