Many of us have enjoyed having Canine Companions Service Dog Amador at camp to congratulate our polar bear swimmers, send off our backpackers and celebrate their return, and provide a little extra love at staff training. 

Just before camp in summer 2025, Orion and Mango had a special opportunity to name a Canine Companions puppy "Sentinel" in honor of Camp Two Sentinels. This team is supporting DogFest Bay Area 2025 to raising funds to support Sentinel's journey to become an expertly trained service dog for an adult, child, or veteran with a disability. After his time with a volunteer puppy raiser, Sentinel will receive professional training and he and his person will receive lifetime support from Canine Companions completely free of charge.

You've seen the impact these dogs make on my life as a person with disabilities who wants to live an independent and adventurous life. More importantly, you've seen the ripple effect these dogs have on the lives of *everyone* they interact with. Help us get to our fundraising goal by donating online so we can get Sentinel and all of the other Canine Companions puppies trained into service dogs and into the lives of those who need them. Thank you!
