Congratulations to Becka Yerger, the October Volunteer of
\nthe Month! Becka began volunteering with Susquehanna Service Dogs in December
\n2017 when she started raising SSD Amadeus. Amadeus is now one of our studs and
\na demonstration dog.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s awesome to think that there are little Amadeus puppies
\nout there becoming service dogs,\u201d says Becka. \u201cHe\u2019s the sweetest dog, and I\u2019m
\nhonored that he is now a breeder and demo dog.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Becka decided to get involved with SSD after one of her
\ncolleagues at Millersville University started raising a puppy for us. \u201cOf
\ncourse, I was interested right away. I\u2019m originally from the Harrisburg, PA
\narea, so I had always heard of SSD. When I applied to raise a puppy, I felt
\nlike I was at the right stage in my life to start this new journey and
\nadventure.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Since she raised SSD Amadeus, Becka has been a puppy sitter
\nfor some our youngest puppies through our 2×2 program, watching two puppies at
\na time overnight. She served as a starter raiser for SSD Toast, and she\u2019s now
\nthe volunteer staff advisor for Paws on Deck, our puppy raising program at
\nMillersville University. In addition to raising puppies, Paws on Deck helps
\nraise money for SSD and educates the public about service dogs and service dog
\netiquette.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe work these dogs do is nothing less than amazing,\u201d she
\nsays. \u201cSeeing the dogs with their partners makes the whole process worth it! The
\nstaff at SSD also make this journey so much easier because the SSD family is
\nalways there for help or support whenever needed.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
