Canine Companions
Southeast Region
Welcome to the South Florida Chapter Website. Our chapter serves the East coast of South Florida. Our membership includes graduates, volunteers, puppy raisers and donors, who are all enthusiastic about supporting the mission of Canine Companions – providing highly trained assistance dogs for people with disabilities, free of charge.
If you’re looking for deeper engagement as a Canine Companions volunteer, we encourage you to get involved with our chapter. The South Florida Chapter is an extension of the Southeast Region, located in Orlando, FL. We work to raise awareness, raise funds recruit new puppy raisers and volunteers and support one another’s work on behalf of the Canine Companions’ mission.
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!
On May 30, 2025, Oklahoma became the 35th state to successfully pass a law that creates penalties for misrepresenting a pet as a service animal. HB 1178, supported by Canine Companions, will take effect in November 2025.
Canine Companions brought heart and humor to Saturday Night Live (SNL), showcasing the impact of service dogs in an unforgettable skit that raised awareness for our mission. Watch now.
