Review for Canine Partners for Life, Cochranville, PA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I worked at Canine Partners for Life (k94life.org) for a year and learned so much about how to provide a service dog to people with disabilities- the Right Way! My most memorable experience was meeting people at Team Training where Service Dogs and Recipients learn to work together for the first time. I learned it is all about the people. CPL Recipients are dynamic "go-getters" who overcome their circumstances to lead a more active and fulfilling life. Dog and Human become one team, and the stories of differently-abled people resonate with me. Some had very little to no family or friends to help them and have never taken public transportation nor have been to a baseball game. With their new canine partner they can do that and more - work, volunteer and simply get to the grocery store on their own. These amazing people ask for no sympathy or help- they live independently and happily ever after with the help of a well-trained service dog - provided free of charge and trained to the highest standards. I changed jobs but my heart stays with CPL and the important work they do.
