Campus Opportunities

Can Do Canines is a great place to volunteer - it doesn’t matter if you have dog training experience or if you have never had a dog before, the seasoned training staff trains you to help train the dogs on their career path. It is all in a collective effort to help set up the puppy or dog for success in the future. All it costs you is your time.

Bill C., Puppy Program Volunteer

It is so much fun and so rewarding to work with all these wonderful dogs. You have so many options for volunteering; short fosters, long fosters and everything in between. Can Do Canines provides training opportunities for all volunteers, lots of resources, and they even provide nearly all the supplies you need to foster a dog!

Erin W., Puppy Program Volunteer

I volunteer here as a dog exerciser. It's an amazing place with a devoted team doing their best to make the world a better place for the disabled, and it really shows in the warmth of everyone's character and hard work. The dogs are well cared for and get lots of love and time to play. I'm so happy to be apart of something so incredible!

Volunteer Spotlight: The Whitfields

The Whitfield family, composed of Erin, Jef and their daughter, Ella, first heard about Can Do Canines about five years ago. Erin recalls, “A friend from church told me about Can Do Canines. Her son used to work at the Stanley Prison. We started fostering in January of 2018.” Click to read more.
