“We had SUCH lovely time working with Canine Companions for an event. Everybody loved meeting all of the adorable puppers in training. We decided to sponsor Scarlett and was rewarded with this great little bundle of goods (stuffed dog, stickers, greeting cards and a magnet.) We can’t wait to work with them again!“

Click on the “Sponsor” button of the puppy you would like to sponsor and complete the form. Be sure to include the contact information of the person you would like to receive the updates. If you would like to sponsor both puppies, please complete each form separately.
Your support helps Canine Companions provide expertly trained service dogs to people with disabilities FREE of charge, creating lasting partnerships and helping children, adults and veterans to live with greater independence.
Within the first month of sponsoring your puppy, you will receive a Sponsorship Kit in the mail. You will then receive regular 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 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.
The cost to sponsor a puppy is $240, or $10 per month. This donation will contribute to our mission of providing these expertly trained service dogs to children, adults and veterans with disabilities at no cost, allowing them to lead a life of greater independence.
