Our Vacation Relief Homes care for our pups when our raisers need relief.

Most Vacation Relief volunteers care for a pup for us occasionally – once every month, every other month, for 3-10 days depending on the need from our raisers.
There is no cost to you – the raiser brings all supplies the pup will need, including a crate if needed, and will drop the pup off and pick the pup up.

We expect you to keep the pup safe and happy while in your care, and respect our policies – the dog is not allowed on the furniture, the dog will not be off leash except in a fenced area, the dog will not be fed from the table, and the dog will not be taken to a busy, stressful setting. Our training staff will orient and train you for 1-2 hours, and as needed.
