Capital Campaign Donation Page
The waitlist is long. Constrained by our current facility, we are only able to place about 20 Assistance Dogs a year.
Expansion is key. Our goal is to place more dogs with more people living with disabilities. To do this, we need more space. The Canine Education and Wellness Center will provide:
- Canine housing and training
- Rooms to host clients
- Staff offices
- Upgrades to current facility
THANK YOU for choosing to support a future of placing more dogs with more people living with disabilities.
