Our Volunteer Opportunities

Puppy Guardian

Guardians commit to raising and training a puppy for approximately 2 years. They take the puppy to weekly classes and on training field trips; they are responsible for completing any homework assignments and training objectives assigned by their trainer. 

Puppy Sitter

Not sure you’re ready to commit to a puppy 24/7? You can still be the puppy’s home away from home by being a Puppy Sitter. As a Puppy Sitter you will fill in as the puppy’s Guardian.

Event Volunteer

We need event volunteers to help us at a variety of functions. This may include helping set up and take down tables and displays, answering questions from the public and more.

Community Outreach

Want to raise awareness for IOWA Service Dogs and help educate the public? This is the role for you! As part of the Community Outreach team, you will talk to schools, businesses, clubs, and more about IOWA Service dogs.

Program Ambassadors

We believe that education is a huge part of supporting those in need of service dogs. We would love to have you, you and your friends, or you and your organization working with us to spread the word about what we do.

Iowa Advocate

With service dog fraud being a growing problem, it is important to understand the laws and processes that make a service dog different from a pet, a therapy dog, or an emotional support animal. Help us take a stand against animals that are being misrepresented as service animals.
