The mission of Canine Inspired Change is to connect and support our community through the healing power of therapy dogs. We are dedicated to giving vulnerable youth and adults the social-emotional tools they need to be active participants in their schools and their communities. Our work helps these remarkable people transcend trauma, social struggles and isolation by sparking meaningful connections with dogs, volunteers and each other.
