Share the Love: Canine Companions for Independence



Just before Valentine's Day we hosted our 4th annual Share the Love party; a fundraiser to benefit the Canine Companions for Independence. We had a great turnout - which included 7 dogs!


One of the very well-behaved dogs

CCI raises and trains dogs to provide a variety of services (pretty much everything except seeing-eye dogs). Check out their website for lots of information and ways to get involved. At the party we had puppy raisers and program graduates (the people who get the dogs after they are trained). One dog helped assist a man in a wheelchair, another assisted a deaf woman, and a third worked with young children in a school. Seeing the dogs and hearing the stories had us all considering becoming puppy raisers.











 Looking forward to our 5th Annual Share the Love party in 2014!
