Adult Dog Boarding

We need Boarding Homes for Guide and Service Dogs in Training

BC & Alberta Guide Dogs needs boarding homes for dogs that are in advanced training and need to live closer to our offices. Volunteers board an adult dog (already house-trained) for around a four to six-month period, providing a loving home for the dog on evenings and weekends.

Ladner or Tsawwassen:

  • Our staff will pick up the dog for training around 9 a.m. and drop the dog off around 4 p.m. (Monday to Friday only)
  • We provide food, vet care and other basic necessities for the dog.
  • Be at home during the day or able to take the dog with you. Ideal candidates are retirees or at-home workers.  (Dogs shouldn’t be left alone for more than FOUR hours at a time).
  • Provide a dog-friendly home with a secure outdoor space (e.g. fenced yard)
  • Follow our guidelines for training and caring for the dog.
