I am a recipient of this organization. They are a wonderful nonprofit organization that provides assistance dogs to those in need. They serve a wide range of clientele. I am a recipient of a mobility assist dog. My dog makes my life easier by helping me with everyday skills. These skills include helping me open doors, taking my coat off, and almost anything in between within reason. If you are interested in applying for a service dog, or volunteering for an organization I highly recommend doing your research and exploring all the wonderful opportunities that Can Do Canines has to offer.
This organization changes lives by providing an assistance dog to those who need them. We hear stories at every board and the amazing things these dogs do for their person.

I joined the Board of Directors in January 2020. This is a great organization with strong commitment from staff, volunteers, donors, and many others who are strongly aligned with the mission of the organization. The volunteers alone commit a lot of time, energy and resources to ensure our dogs are well trained and socialized to be an assistance dog. The executive direction, board, and staff recently finalized a revised strategic plan with lots of exciting things planned for the future. Please check out this mission driven organization.
I have been on the Board of Can DO Canines for 6 years. During that time I have had a chance to meet many of our clients, people that have recieved an assistance dog. I have had an opportunity to see how our assistance dogs change our client's lives. They allow our clients to live more independently providing assistance on a dailey basis. ALl of this is at no charge to our clients following a small application fee.
I have been involved with this charity for over 15 years. The stories are endless from matching dogs with clients and giving them a returned sense of independence to partnering with various prisons allowing the inmates to give back to the community and create a sense of self worth in the process. Can Do Canines has been around for over 30 years and there is a reason for that - they do a great job assisting individuals from all walks of life with many different disabilities and all at NO COST to them for an awesome assistance dog.

I have been involved with this wonderful organization for over 20 years. I continue to be amazed at the stories of hope, independence, community, teamwork, resilience and happiness that is generated by everyone involved. I am proud to be a donor, volunteer and board member and encourage everyone to take the time to see how many lives are impacted by the work that we do with our amazing dogs and the joy that they in turn bring to those involved with them. From puppies to adulthood, our dogs bring joy to everyone they come in contact with along the way. Check us out to learn more!!
Can Do Canines changes lives in ways that few organizations do. Clearly the clients are benefactors, but it doesn't stop there! Everyone who comes in contact with Can Do Canines has their life altered in such meaningful ways. I have been intimately involved with the organization for over a decade now. As a volunteer and financial supporter I can attest to the return on investment for any contribution made whether that be by way of a monetary donation or a donation of time. My involvement has blessed me with so many experiences to include, but not limited to, puppy raising, fostering and whelping. Through my involvement I had had the opportunity to put hands on over 100 dogs at all stages of their development. The leadership, professional staff and volunteer base is second to none! I was so overwhelmed with the mission and impact of Can Do Canines that it lead me to the privilege of Board service. The approach of the organization is such that the vast majority of the financial contributions go directly in support of its mission. I am so very proud to be associated with such a first class Non-Profit!
I have been a nonprofit board governance consultant for 25+ years and have been so impressed with the mission focus and excellent stewardship of the organization’s resources that I came back to serve on the board again after a 20 year gap. The care and attention they give to every aspect of everything they do, most of all the clients and their four-legged partners continually inspires me. They create a sense of belonging and love with each tail wag.
