The Texans say the puppy will undergo training and socialization while he is with the team for the next 16 to 18 months. He will train along staff, players and fans, allowing the puppy to get acclimated to different environments and socialize with different people. Fans may get a chance to see him at community events, meet and greets and some home games.
Fans can also follow him on Instagram at @TexansPup.
After his time with the Texans, he will go back to the America's VetDogs campus in New York to begin formal service dog training, and he will eventually be matched at no cost with a veteran or first responder with disabilities.
