8.1 Please feel free to add any additional information that you'd like to share.

8.2 You are not signing up to be involved with a single puppy, rather becoming a member of the PADS Puppy-Raising community that is collectively responsible for building success in our puppies. This means the puppy you are assigned may change during your first 2 year commitment if needed to support the success of our puppies and volunteers. Do you understand and agree to this commitment?

8.2 You are not signing up to be involved with a single dog, rather becoming a member of the PADS Community where we are collectively responsible for building success in our dogs.

8.3 Do you feel you will be able to emotionally handle the separation when the puppy leaves your care?

8.4 Please tell us about any experience or certifications you have that are related to that role(s) you wish to apply for.
