Volunteer Application

Volunteering with dogs in Madison, WI is a meaningful way to make a real impact—and at OccuPaws, our volunteers are the heart of everything we do.

As a volunteer-driven organization, OccuPaws relies on dedicated individuals who want to support our mission of raising and training guide dogs for people who are blind or visually impaired. Whether you’re hands-on with dogs or prefer to help behind the scenes, there are many ways to get involved.

You do not need to attend puppy training classes to volunteer. Many of our volunteer opportunities are non-raiser roles and are perfect for people who want to support service dogs without taking on full puppy-raising responsibilities.
