Thank you for your interest in our club!
U.P.R.A.W.R. stands for the United Puppy Raisers of ACTS and their Wagging Retrievers. We are UVM's puppy raising club.
As a group we raise and train service and facility dogs for Assistance Canine Training Services (A.C.T.S.).
Individual students are paired with a dog, providing an opportunity to build skills and knowledge pertaining to the training, care, and understanding of canine behavior.
We hope to foster a greater awareness and respect for service dogs in the UVM community and surrounding area.
Through UPRAWR, students can become puppy raisers, puppy sitters, and general members, all a vital part of the team.
