Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. When you gift love to Canine Companions, that love keeps on growing. Your donation supports the breeding, raising and expert training of our service dogs, so they can open doors, pick up dropped items, interrupt nightmares, bring comfort, build confidence – and change lives in ways big and small.
Airing on hundreds of CBS affiliates nationwide, as well as on the CBS Morning News, reporter Gwen Baumgardner’s segment shined a spotlight on the ongoing need for the raisers who help future service dogs on the first steps toward their life-changing mission.
With every stay, travelers are giving back through our partnership with Red Roof and its Room In Your Heart program. Save up to 15% with VP code 628903 through February 26, 2026, and 5% of the purchase price from stays completed by then will be donated to Canine Companions.
You’re invited to this year’s very first National Graduation Day happening on Thursday and Friday, February 12 and 13, 2026! Join us — online or in person — to feel the impact, energy and magic of the moment when new human-canine partnerships are formed and independence is expanded.
While the mission of Canine Companions is to provide expertly trained service dogs to people with disabilities, we believe that the incredible work therapy dogs do is an important extension of our core mission.
