Who is Canine Companions

Service dogs are incredible working dogs who help people with disabilities live more independently.  

They’re trained as PROS to complete a variety of tasks – like picking up a dropped cell phone at the park or handing a credit card to the cashier at the grocery store.

Canine Companions is leading the service dog industry so their clients and their dogs can live with greater independence. Canine Companions provides service dogs to adults, children and veterans with disabilities and facility dogs to professionals working in healthcare, criminal justice and educational settings. Since their founding in 1975, their dogs and all follow-up services are provided at no cost to their clients.  

Independence shouldn’t be limited to those who look or live a certain way. Disability reaches all races, classes and backgrounds, and Canine Companions does too.  Clients go to Canine Companions because of their reputation, the quality of their dogs, the experience of their training staff and the desire to lead life with greater independence. They are committed to providing services to all qualified clients.  To learn more about the amazing work vist their website by clicking the link below or visiting www.canine.org
