🚨 Puppy alert! 🐶 Recently, our VERY FIRST litter was born at our new Canine Health and Wellness Center, located in Northern California. And just last week, they've reached an age old enough to experience their outside enrichment for the first time! The new building provides a portal that connects the indoor area with an outdoor space, giving the pups a safe opportunity to start building their puppy skills. This amazing experience is a wonderful example of what this new facility can offer to our future generations of #servicedogs. 💛💙 To help ensure more healthy puppies come into this world, visit https://bit.ly/4cBFsXK #puppy #futureservicedog #servicedog #LeadWithIndependence #veterinary #veterinarycare #science #siblings

💪 To our client, Katelyn, #DisabilityPrideMonth means being independent in a world full of obstacles. With the help of #ServiceDog Dario, she's easily able to navigate her surroundings and find joy and independence in her daily life. “Disability Pride lets me celebrate being independent,” says Katelyn. “Having Service Dog Dario by my side helps immensely with my disability and lets me live life on my own without having to rely on others all the time. I like the fact that Dario is a social aspect and enhances my confidence in public. He gets people talking to me. Dario is an extension of me, which means I don’t have to rely on help from others. Without him, I would have to rely on my mom or someone else for simple things. He picks up items for me, presses elevator buttons, helps tug my socks off and helps put clothes in the hamper. If I ever experience a bad day, I know I can rely on Dario to help calm my anxiety and escape a stressful situation.” In addition to being a Canine Companions client, Katelyn is also heavily involved with us through her volunteer work, including participating in her local chapter group, promoting our mission at events and serving as a gala committee member. “I interact with a lot of Canine Companions graduates with all kinds of disabilities. Disabilities are often not visible,” says Katelyn. “You never know what someone is going through, and it is important to understand that people often have more than one disability than what is shown. People with disabilities often approach Dario and I asking about service dogs and how to get involved with Canine Companions or even apply for their own service dog.” We're honored to celebrate our clients, this month and every month, and the incredible dogs who are by their side! ➡️ Help empower more people with disabilities with a double-impact gift: canine.org/independence24 #DisabilityPride #disability #disabilityawareness #advocacy #servicedogs #LeadWithIndependence #inclusive

To Aspen, #DisabilityPrideMonth is about embracing who she is with confidence, with #ServiceDog Jojo by her side.💙💪 "Disability Pride means accepting and loving who I am, while living in a world that is constantly telling me I am broken, a burden, and 'too much,'" shares Aspen. "It means that I am worthy enough to embrace my confidence and take up space. Disability Pride is the opportunity to promote inclusivity, embrace the beauty of life, and highlight the diversity within our community." We're honored to celebrate our clients, this month and every month, and the incredible dogs who are by their side! 🐾 ➡️ Help make every day Independence Day by visiting canine.org/independence24 #DisabilityPride #disability #disabilityawareness #advocacy #servicedogs #LeadWithIndependence #inclusive #diversity
