We are excited to share that our Kennel Enrichment Volunteer positions are now available at our Training School Kennels in Yorktown Heights, New York! Volunteers will help us to provide an optimal environment for our adult dogs by assisting with the ever-present tasks of feeding, cleaning and grooming which takes up approximately 2/3 of the time. Once the necessary tasks are completed, volunteers will enjoy spending time interacting with our dogs by playing with dogs using dog toys, walking our dogs and taking our wonderful dogs to Planet Dog Community run located on our Yorktown campus!
🐾
Shifts are available:
Monday through Friday: 8am - 12pm and 12pm - 4pm
Weekends: 9am - 12pm and 12pm - 4pm

On Tuesday, we welcomed David Nausch, a representative from Rye Subaru, to our Training School campus in Yorktown Heights, NY. Alyssa David, Foundation Guide Dog Mobility Instructor, gave a wonderful demonstration on guide dog training with the assistance of VanDyke, a yellow lab guide dog.
🦮 💕
Our friends at Rye Subaru have supported our mission these past few years through their Share the Love event. This year, they presented us with a check for $14,953! Thank you, Rye Subaru, for your generous support that will help change lives.
