National Volunteer Week: Admin Support

We have volunteers who help with events and fundraising, administrative duties, property maintenance, and a ton of other one-off tasks we look for support in. These volunteers make it so all our training can happen and we want to thank them all so much!

National Volunteer Week: Marilyn’s Story

EEP volunteers support our University dogs with daytime exercise, night time enrichment, and weekend homes to relax in. The final stages of our dogs training would not be possible without dedicated volunteers supporting our NSD University dogs.

Natioal Volunteer Week: EEP

We are so thankful for all our sitters. They always take on the challenge of welcoming a new dog into their home, loving them, and working through challenges that come along with each dog.

National Volunteer Week: Puppy Raising

We are so thankful for all the time, dedication and love these volunteers give to their role as a Puppy Raiser. We have over 60 puppies in training living with their puppy raisers and we are thankful for each and every one of you!

National Volunteer Week: Breeding and Whelping Volunteers

We would like to say Thank You to all of our volunteers who help at these beginning stages of our future life changes. Without you, it would not be possible to fulfill our mission.
