A Breeding Host helps PAWS breed puppies that will become future Assistance Dogs. A Breeding Host volunteers to house, train and care for a PAWS Mama or Papa Dog and makes it available to PAWS during breeding times. A Breeding Host also assists with whelping and raising litters until they are about 8 weeks old. PAWS is available to help every step of the way. Here’s a few things a prospective Breeding Host should know:
-
We do not require dog training experience, just a willingness to learn
-
You need to live in Michigan, within two hours of PAWS National Headquarters in Wayland, MI
-
You’ll have to attend monthly obedience classes at PAWS National Headquarters
-
You must follow veterinary guidelines set by PAWS
-
We’ll provide you with a team of support for hosting a Mama or Papa Dog
