CONWAY — The two service dog organizations in the valley, Assistance Canine Training Services and Little Angels Service Dogs are both looking for a few good people who love dogs and would like to become a puppy raiser for a dog that is destined to change someone’s life for the better.
“We always, always need puppy raisers,” Robin Crocker, ACTS’ director of canine development, said Wednesday. “We have no dogs at the moment but are waiting for two dogs to come into season and then be bred and when they do, we’ll need a lot of people. While the need is not immediate, it is long term, plus puppies always pop up.”
