Within the first month of sponsoring your puppy, you will receive a Sponsorship Kit in the mail. You will then receive quarterly updates via email that include updated photos, information on what the puppy has been learning and where they are headed next in their journey to become a service dog. You will also receive a mailed birthday card on your puppy’s first birthday and a final mailed announcement when they enter professional training to become a service dog for someone with a disability.
Canine Companions service dogs spend approximately two years being raised and trained for this important work. Your sponsorship makes this journey possible.
It takes an exceptional dog to graduate as a service dog, and not every dog is suitable. All dogs must meet our standards of trained skills, health and temperament to ensure quality placements and happy working dogs. Because of this, it is important to note that a Canine Companions puppy can be released from the program at any time. Ongoing updates will be provided through professional training until graduation or release. If your sponsored puppy is released exceptionally early, accommodation will be made.
