Community Partnerships
Dog Training Programs: In these programs the youth give back to the
community by providing training to dogs that would otherwise be
euthanized at local shelters. Through these partnerships the youth are
able to help the dogs, rescue groups, and eventually families in their
community who seek to adopt a well trained dog.
Dog House Building: Youth will be able to build dog houses to provide
proper shelter for dogs in their community. Thus assisting both
families who cannot afford adequate housing for their pets and the
animals that benefit from proper shelter.
