Adoption Update - Luna (formerly Delia)
"Luna and she is settling in very well. She just had her first bath and haircut today at the Joybound Grooming Academy. She easily picked up on basic commands like "sit" and "wait". She now knows not to dash out the door when it opens and waits until I tell her and her brother that they can go. She and her brother are getting along well!"

Want to change three lives at once? (Spoiler: One of them is a shelter dog! 🐶)
For 15 weeks, Joybound's foster trainers become the crucial, first chapter in a service dog's journey. They're teaching these amazing candidates their first commands, shaping their manners, and preparing them for their life-changing mission ahead.
But here's the plot twist: While you're transforming a dog's future, you might just find your calling. Joybound's foster trainer program is the perfect springboard into professional dog training — and we'll even cover your CPDT-KA certification test costs when you pass!

The first step our service dog candidates take is spending 15 weeks with a foster trainer. These incredible volunteers teach them basic canine manners and prepare them to begin advanced training with their eventual handlers. Plus, foster trainer volunteering is a great way to work towards a career as a professional dog trainer — Joybound will even cover the costs of your CPDT-KA test once you pass!
