Lead with Independence

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

Volunteers Make a Difference

The service and facility dogs we train aren’t just the ears, hands and legs of their human partners; they’re also their best friends. Canine Companions service dogs open new opportunities and spread incredible joy. We unite people with dogs in a powerful program that leads to greater independence and confidence. Our volunteer puppy raisers make this possible.
