Sam and Harrison have fostered and trained some amazing dogs through Dogs for Life. We've found it an incredibly rewarding and educational experience. We've been able to love a puppy and help out someone with a disability at the same time.

Dogs for Life works with specifically trained dogs within mutually defined programs, to assist people to achieve predefined therapeutic goals and to create a lasting partnership that aims to improve quality of life, enhance independence and facilitate increased participation in society.

What are the duties of a foster family?

• Provide a warm, loving and secure home for our puppy in their first year.
• Follow our rules regarding the treatment and interactions with the puppy
• Being with the puppy big part of the day
• Saying goodbye to the puppy after about a year

What are the benefits of fostering a puppy?

​

• Doing an AMAZING thing for someone in your community with a disability that will change their life
• Having the most adorable, funny creature in your home, providing you and your family with heaps of love and fun
• No cost to you for all dog care, including food, toys and health care.
• Dogs for Life trains the puppy for around an hour a day, so not only will your adopted puppy be superbly trained, but you can also learn how to do it yourself!
