Puppy-Sitting for Collar Scholars at DU

Puppy-sitters are trained club members who provide support to our puppy-raisers! They take our puppies when our raisers cannot for anywhere from a few hours to over school breaks.

Puppy-sitters can take our puppies on outings and to classes with the raiser's permission. Our puppies are permitted everywhere on DU's campus (including residence halls), except in labs.
