DDP Officer:
Do you love dogs? Enjoy getting out and about? Have a safe and secure yard?
Then why not apply to be a foster carer for an Australian Border Force pup.
A nurturing home and lots of socialisation is needed to raise Australian Border Force pups to become detector dogs. This is why we need your help to foster them.
Foster Carer:
Being a Detector Dog Program Foster Carer is an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
The staff are very supportive and regularly come and collect to assess his/her development progress.
We've learned a lot about developing and caring for our dog and the Program covers all his/her food and medical expenses.
DDP Officer:
As a foster carer you will need to have access to a vehicle, take the pup for daily walks and undertake three socialisation activities each week.
For up to 18 months you can experience the joy of raising a pup with the knowledge that one day this little guy may grow up to protect Australia's borders.
DDP Officer:
