Canine Companions
Southeast Region
Welcome to the Central Florida Chapter of Canine Companions. We are committed to empowering people with disabilities by providing expertly trained service dogs to adults, children, and veterans at no cost.
Our chapter includes graduates, volunteers, puppy raisers, and donors, who are the driving force behind our mission and help Canine Companions lead with independence in Orlando and beyond.
Join our community of volunteers dedicated to positively impacting the lives of individuals with disabilities. Here are some ways you can support Canine Companions regional training centers:
Our organization hosts DogFest events to raise funds that support Canine Companions’ mission of providing service dogs free of charge to people with disabilities. In the past, we’ve raised up to $95,000 at a single festival thanks to the generosity of our volunteers and attendees.
