Care for a Breed Dog

At Fidelco, our mission to provide world-class guide dogs starts with excellent care from dedicated breed caregivers. If you're passionate about German Shepherds and are committed to helping raise the next generation of guide dogs, we invite you to join our team of breed caregivers. As a Fidelco breed caregiver, you'll play a vital role in the early development of these extraordinary dogs, ensuring they are well-prepared for their future work.

Caregiver Requirements:

  • Proximity: You must live within an hour of Fidelco to ensure convenient and regular visits.
  • Regular Visits: Caregivers need to bring the dog to Fidelco on a monthly basis for check-ins and assessments.
  • Pet Restrictions: Your home should be free of other intact dogs to ensure the safety and well-being of the Fidelco dog.
  • Experience: Prior experience with German Shepherds is essential, as these dogs require knowledgeable handling and care.
  • Financial Responsibility: Caregivers are responsible for providing dog food, ensuring the dog receives high-quality nutrition.
  • Daily Exercise: Commitment to walking the dog for 30-60 minutes each day is crucial for their physical and mental health.

If you meet these requirements and are ready to make a meaningful impact, we encourage you to apply to become a Fidelco breed caregiver. Your dedication will help shape future guide dogs, changing lives and fostering independence.
