Canine Companions for Independence

Hello~

We said good-bye to our sweet Bailey this morning and want to invite you to contribute to a very worthy non-profit in her name: Canine Companions! We thank God for the time we had with this remarkable dog and know that many of you who were fortunate to meet her know what a sweet rascal she was. Good-bye, Bailey! You will live forever in our hearts!

Our North School community is thrilled to support Canine Companions, which provides expertly trained service dogs to people with disabilities—free of charge! Through North's Change for Change fundraiser, students learn the power of kindness, community, and creative responsibility. Every dollar we raise helps provide life-changing dogs with the training, care, and support they need to transform lives. Please paws for North's cause to bring hope, independence, and companionship through Canine Companions!

Seven years ago today, my service dog Augie‘s leash was put on my wrist. It was his second birthday. We have been a team ever since that day. Rob and I both had October birthdays too.

Three years ago, Augie was diagnosed with copper liver storage disease. We have been up and down with his health struggles. At the moment, he takes his medications and is eating well. However, there are some weeks that have not been good.

We would like the GoFundMe account to benefit Canine Companions because of the great work they do to provide highly trained service dogs.

What is Luke Day?

It is an integral part of our brand identity and culture. NextHome Dream Seekers Realty wouldn’t be the same without our beloved mascot Luke and in honor of his birthday, we have declared June 15th our company’s annual day of community service and outreach - Luke Day. We use this day as an opportunity to step away from our business and come together with our community to serve our local areas to help the people and pets that thrive there.
