Volunteer to become a #LifeChanger!
Welcome to the ADI #LifeChanger campaign! You’re here because you want to know more about becoming
an assistance dog volunteer and helping to change the lives of people with disabilities.
Soaring demand and a global volunteer shortage are critically disrupting the training of life-changing
assistance dogs. Local organizations urgently need your help to care for puppies and dogs in training.
Last year, ADI members had more than 28,000 active assistance dog teams working across the world, with
nearly 11,000 puppies and dogs in training, a waiting list of almost 9,000 and millions more who could
potentially benefit. Demand has never been higher, but we can’t train assistance dogs fast enough to meet
the need.
That’s where you come in. You might feel you lack the time, experience or capacity to care for puppies and
dogs in training - but we’ll help you overcome your concerns!
Check out our myth busting blog to find out why you are exactly the volunteer we’re looking for, then head
