There’s no better pick-me-up than a warm cup of coffee, but what if your coffee came with a chance to pet some adorable puppies and dogs? Throughout March and April, Canine Companions volunteers and supporters aim to partner with local and college coffee shops to host Coffee & Canines events.

The goal of these events is to raise awareness about Canine Companions during our 50th anniversary, while spreading joy and puppy love throughout the community.

Attend an event for the chance to:

  • Meet and take pictures with future service dogs in training
  • Collect free items, such as stickers!
  • Learn about the life-changing services Canine Companions provides, and how you can get involved
  • Enjoy coffee while supporting a local nonprofit

Plus! Share a photo of you with a future service dog and include the hashtag #coffeeandcanine for the chance to be featured on our national social media pages! Don’t forget to tag Canine Companions!
