FREE FAMILY MEMBERSHIP

A supported beginning. Six weeks together.

A Northern California learning program for adopters and families with dogs or cats. Sponsorship covers your membership in full.

Your place in the program

  • Apply from Nevada, Placer, El Dorado, Marin, San Francisco or the Petaluma area of Sonoma County.
  • Tell us about your family and dog or cat.
  • Join the waiting list; no sponsor is required to apply.
  • We match families with available sponsorships in our launch areas.
  • Once your membership is confirmed, join the course currently running and continue through the cycle until you complete all six courses, activities and reports.

The first launch focuses on Nevada, Placer and El Dorado counties. Marin, San Francisco and the Petaluma area follow. Applying expresses interest; it does not guarantee a place.
