Canine Companions for Independence

Help Us Celebrate Brooks’ 1st Birthday by Supporting Canine Companions for Independence!

Brooks is turning ONE, and to mark this special milestone, we’ve decided to do something meaningful instead of gifts. We’re raising funds to support Canine Companions for Independence, a nonprofit that trains and provides highly skilled assistance dogs to children with disabilities.

Every dollar brings hope and support to children who benefit from these amazing canine partners. We believe this is the perfect way to celebrate Brooks’ first year — by giving back and helping others thrive.

Thank you for joining us in making a difference!

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.
