Volunteer Service Dog In Traning (SDIT) Mentor

Where can you Volunteer and receive Double the Benefit for your Efforts?

Did you know you can Save a Dog and at the same time Empower a Person?

SDIT Mentoring for CrittersWork Service Dog Partners does just that!

The dog you mentor for CrittersWork will have the best opportunity of becoming a Service, Assistance, Hearing, Psychiatric Assistance or Therapy Dog for some person who desperately needs the skills this dog can provide.

Your efforts will not only give this dog a forever home that creates an extremely special relationship for the person and the dog, this dog becomes a life changing partner.

Recent statistics report that more than 19 percent of our population over age five suffer from a disability. Together we can benefit the daily lives of many people by partnering them with a Service Dog.

This all starts with YOU, Service Dog In Training Mentors are an essential part of our organization. The SDIT Mentor fosters a service dog candidate under the age of sixteen months from anywhere between four to fourteen months.

Be part of the solution!

Service Dogs are capable of retrieving items, opening and closing doors, turning lights off and on, pulling wheelchairs, stabilizing a person who needs assistance walking, alerting the hearing impaired to important sounds, and even searching for a person afflicted with Alzheimer's or Autism.

Help us Make changes in Two Lives!

You'll be glad you did.

Help us break the cycle of destruction of adoptable dogs and at the same time empower the life of a disabled person.

New Service Dog Training Center

We are starting a nonprofit Service Dog Training center in East Tennessee. We need volunteers!

Volunteers Needed

Service Dog Training is accomplished mostly by volunteers. We need individuals who can be dedicated to a training project long term to help us.

Service Dog Training is very satisfying work. Just think about helping to bring a good dog along to create an assistance partnership with someone in need.

Service Dogs bring more than just assistance to their partnerships. They open up their Team Partners world, enabling them to become more self sufficient, and open to social experiences.
