UTD Service Dogs in Training, also known as UTD SIT, is a Canine Companions-affiliated college organization that seeks to pair higher education with the experience of raising and working with service dogs. UTD SIT puppy raisers take on the full cost of vaccinations, food, toys, and any other care items the puppies need while in training so that Canine Companions clients can receive service dogs free of charge. The organization supports the unique experience of college puppy raisers by spreading service dog awareness, fundraising, training puppy sitters, and by working with UTD staff and faculty to allow for the SIT puppies to go to classes and events.
