On Friday, February 7, we hosted our first National Graduation Day of our 50th year by welcoming 57 new human-canine partnerships. Volunteers, supporters and loved ones gathered to celebrate the culmination of each dog’s two-year journey – starting as a puppy and ultimately graduating to transform their partner’s life as a service dog.
Valentine’s Day is only a few days away – make this year’s special by honoring your loved one with an email tribute gift. It’s not only a precious way to show how much you care; it’s also going to help more people with disabilities live with greater independence.
We’re celebrating our 50th anniversary with a special promotion from Red Roof®! Now through February 27, 2025, save up to 15% on your stay with VP code 630877 and 5% of the purchase price from your stay completed before February 27, 2025, will be donated to Canine Companions.
There’s no better pick-me-up than coffee with a side of puppies. Throughout March and April, our volunteers and college club members will coordinate a series of fun Coffee & Canines outreach events at local and campus coffee shops!
