My Personal Fundraising Page
I'm participating in DogFest Bay Area 2025 because I love dogs and know the joy they bring to our lives each and every day. I also believe in Canine Companions and their mission to provide expertly trained service dogs to adults, children and veterans with disabilities FREE of charge.
Emma, the first dog I raised has been placed with a lovely woman who needs general support with day to tasks. Millie my second one is 13 months old and a real delight to train and hang out with! This has been an incredible experience for me and I appreciate all the support I have had from friends, neighbors, and the other puppy raisers!
Leading up to DogFest Bay Area 2025, I am raising money to support the Canine Companions mission. The impact these dogs have on the lives of people with disabilities is incredible. Help me get to my fundraising goal by donating online so we can get more of these amazing Canine Companions service dogs into the lives of those who need them. Every little bit will help me reach my goal. Thank you!
DogFest - Grab a leash and have fun!
Please reach out to me if you want to learn more or even raise one of these awesome pupsters!
Emma at 17 months / Kai at 10 weeks
Emma is finishing up her training and Kia is just beginning!
Some Doggy Loving from Molly
Molly is not a service dog, just an awesome awesome companion!
Emma and Tulip
Emma was my first service dog in training and is now helping her owner with lots of everyday tasks. Tulip is a facility dog who spends her days in the children's oncology ward.
Mena, Woolah and Emma
Mena and Emma are in their final phases of training. Woolah is fully trained but decided on a different career!
