"You do love, and we help you with everything else," said Laura Zellner, the regional manager of Puppy Raising Services. "So, if you've got some love and you've got the time, we would love to have you as a puppy raiser."

"We endure a lot, but the outcome, the reward is so worth everything that goes into puppy raising," Zellner added.

Southeastern gives its dogs to people who need them, such as veterans with PTSD and people with vision impairment, free of charge.
