Canine Companions is leading the service dog industry so our clients and their dogs can live with greater independence. We provide service dogs to adults, children, and veterans with disabilities and facility dogs to professionals working in healthcare, criminal justice, and educational settings. Since our founding in 1975, our dogs and all follow-up services are provided at no cost to our clients.
