ABOUT

The Puget Sound Chapter of Canine Companions in Washington State is a dedicated community of volunteers, graduates, and puppy raisers. We work together to advance Canine Companions’ mission of providing expertly trained service dogs to children, adults, and veterans with disabilities at no cost to them.

Our volunteers help raise awareness, support fundraising events, and advocate for service dogs across the Northwest Region—and we invite you to join us. Whether you want to work hands-on with future service dogs, help organize events, or simply spread the word about Canine Companions, our chapter is the place for you.

Join us and make a difference in the lives of people with disabilities by supporting the independence that a service dog provides.
