Do you love dogs? Do you want to help people with disabilities gain their independence back? Founded in 1975, Canine Companions for Independence(r) is a non-profit organization that enhances the lives of wounded veterans, children, and adults with disabilities by providing highly trained assistance dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality partnerships. Our puppy raising program provides a unique opportunity for volunteers to assist with our very important mission.
We are currently seeking volunteer puppy raisers to join us in the Fort Myers area. For 18 months, volunteer puppy raisers provide specially-bred puppies a safe home, take them to obedience classes, serve up a healthy diet, provide socialization opportunities and give lots of love. Each hour spent caring for a Canine Companions puppy is vital to its development as a future assistance dog.
Please consider joining us to help unite people with dogs in a powerful program. Visit our website to learn more at www.cci.org/puppyraiser or join us for an information session to meet current puppy raisers and to learn more about our life-transforming mission. For upcoming dates in Naples & Fort Myers, please email your name and address to: jcooley@cci.org
