In the first six weeks of the 2016 school year, DISD teachers and staff
conducted 1,576 relationship - building
home visits, which led to increased empathy and compassion, increased communication, fewer discipline referrals, more engaged students, stronger feelings of connection between teachers and students, and increased trust all
around.
If you would like to
conduct home visits in and
around the area that you live in, assist us when a dog needs transport near you, or would like to foster a dog, contact us or fill out a volunteer application.
We do review applications, call references and
conduct home visits, and this attention to detail is one of the reasons why our placement success is somewhere
around 90 % overall.
