ABOUT
The Rocky Mountain Chapter consists of over 170 enthusiastic volunteers, puppy raisers and graduate teams in the state of Colorado. Our mission is to support Canine Companions through fundraising and community awareness.
We have had a presence in Colorado for many years and in February of 2016, we became an official volunteer chapter. We welcome all graduates, puppy raisers and volunteers to our chapter.
The Rocky Mountain Chapter is an official charity partner of the Colfax Marathon to help raise funds and awareness for Canine Companions!
