Thank You for Making DogFest Houston 2025 a Success!
What an incredible day! Thanks to the dedication of our community, DogFest Houston 2025 brought together friends, families, and dogs to celebrate 50 years of Canine Companions.
Because of your generosity, we raised nearly $30,000, and fundraising continues through December 31, 2025. Every dollar raised helps us provide expertly trained service dogs to people with disabilities completely free of charge.

Fundraise through the end of the year: Your team page and personal page are still active so keep sharing and raising support.
Volunteer with us: Share your time and talents to help more people experience independence.

We are deeply grateful for your support and partnership. Together we are making a lasting impact and shaping the next 50 years of independence, teamwork and service.
Thank you for being part of DogFest Houston 2025 and for keeping the celebration going through year’s end.
Why We Fundraise
At Canine Companions, we’re at the forefront of the service dog industry, dedicated to enhancing the independence of our clients through our expertly trained service dogs. Since our founding in 1975, we’ve provided service dogs to adults, children and veterans with disabilities, as well as facility dogs to professionals in healthcare, criminal justice and educational settings—all at no cost to our clients.
Our commitment is unwavering: every dog and follow-up service are provided at no charge, ensuring that individuals and organizations can focus on the life-changing impact of our extraordinary dogs without financial barriers.
Lilia with Service Dog Bart
“My disability tends to be invisible, so going into public places alone is scary for me,” says Lilia. “Bart gives me more independence and confidence to go into public areas and feel safe.”
When you raise funds through DogFest, you directly contribute to this mission and help provide the gift of enhanced independence to those we serve. Your efforts make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals and communities across the country.
