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 the surrounding area.
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.

Proceeds from The Tales & Tails Gala allow us to empower more people with disabilities by partnering them with an expertly trained service dog – free of charge. From puppy to hero, Canine Companions leads with independence. And, you can give a helping paw to those who need it.
Fetch Me a Cocktail!
If you’re someone who enjoys a cocktail and a wagging tail at the same time, you might want to make a Tito’s Handmade Vodka purchase at an ABC Fine Wine & Spirits in October. Maybe make yourself a Greyhound (vodka and grapefruit juice)!
