Current Volunteer Opportunities: Part Time Foster

Adoptables Program at Tecumseh State Correctional Institution
Domesti-PUPS is a unique organization that has a breeding program (for service work) and a rescue program. We support both endeavors.  In our Adoptables program we provide educational programming for inmate handlers in the prison facility, acquire dogs from shelters and rescue organizations, and teach the handlers to provide basic obedience training for these dogs with the goal of making them more adoptable to their forever loving homes. 
If interested in this position, click the button below and complete the form using "Adoptables" as the program selection. In the Comments section, please add the name of the position you are interested in applying for.

  • Acclimate dog to a home setting (boundaries, house rules, etc.)
  • Maintain obedience commands

Setting

Schedule
The 2-week foster schedule occurs three times a year, each with a new dog. You can sign up for 1, 2, or 3 times per year.
