Once our dogs are between 14-18 months old and begin training with a professional BluePath trainer, they are fostered in the homes of volunteers. Three to four times a week, the foster drops the dog off in Hopewell Junction in the morning and picks it up in the late afternoon. This allows all of our dogs to live in homes and not in kennels. Dogs remain with the Foster until placement as a BluePath service dog. This positions time frame varies and you will need to committ to caring for the dog 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (when they are not with our staff). Our dogs will need fosters throughout the year. Also, we have sitters lined up in case you are traveling for work or go on vacation.

Volunteers are needed to raise and socialize our puppies in their homes for approximately 12-16 months. They take them out to many different places and teach them basic commands and manners. Providing our dogs with these experiences helps give them a solid foundation and prepares them for the next phase of their service dog training. This positions time frame varies on the availability of the volunteer. For example, if you want to start puppy raising in the Summer, granted we have puppies available, you will care for the puppy for 12-16 months after you receive him/her.
