Raise a Pup Change a Life

Join us in making a difference while learning new things and having fun. There is nothing like the love of a puppy mixed with the support of friends and family. The commitment is approximately 15 months for an 8-10 week old puppy and less for an older Transfer. Puppy sitting is provided by club members when you travel. Puppies can also thrive in the workplace.
