Canine Companions
Northeast Region
The Hudson Valley Chapter encompasses puppy raisers, graduates and volunteers in the Hudson Valley area north of New York City. The mission of the Hudson Valley Chapter is to raise awareness, recruit new puppy raisers and volunteers and support one another’s work on behalf of the Canine Companion’s mission. If you’re looking for deeper engagement as a Canine Companions volunteer, we encourage you to get involved with our chapter. The Hudson Valley Chapter is an extension of the Northeast Regional Training Center.
We are a lively network filled with opportunities for social engagement, from puppy classes to fundraisers. Beyond the satisfaction of doing good work for Canine Companions, lifelong friendships are often formed among chapter members. If you are interested in working with our chapter, contact us. We’d love to meet you!
