Canine Companions
Southeast Region
The Emerald Coast Volunteer Chapter of Canine Companions encompasses the Florida Panhandle, surrounding areas, Alabama and Mississippi.
Chapter members include graduates, volunteers, puppy raisers and donors who are enthusiastic about support the mission of Canine Companions – providing expertly trained service dogs for people with disabilities, free of charge.
Volunteer chapters raise awareness, recruit new puppy raisers and volunteers, and support one another’s work on behalf of the mission in many ways. We are a lively network filled with opportunities for social engagement, from puppy classes to fundraisers. Beyond the satisfaction of doing good work for a good cause, lifelong friendships are often formed among chapter members.
If you are looking to become involved with Canine Companions, please reach out. We’d love to have you help us spread the mission of Canine Companions.

Award-winning short film “Andy: A Dog’s Tale” is the story of how one puppy overcomes obstacles to find his purpose in life as a Canine Companions service dog.
More than two dozen Canine Companions volunteers from across the country have been awarded the prestigious President’s Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) for their outstanding volunteer work in 2024.
