Northwest Region Graduations

Canine Companions graduation ceremonies represent the culmination of hard work, love and dedication of many people, including breeder caretakers, puppy raisers, instructors, volunteers, staff members and graduates.

We are grateful to our generous community and appreciate all efforts to fulfill our mission of enhancing the lives of people with disabilities by providing expertly trained service dogs and ongoing support completely free of charge.
