I'm participating in DogFest Bay Area 2026 because I know firsthand the joy, companionship, and unconditional love that dogs bring to our lives.  I have raised 2 service dogs and am now on my third, and also have hosted another 20 Canine Companion dogs for shorter stays in my home.  I'm proud to support Canine Companions, an organization that provides expertly trained service dogs to children, adults, and veterans with disabilities—completely free of charge.

These remarkable dogs do far more than assist with everyday tasks. They provide greater independence, confidence, and opportunities for the people who rely on them, transforming lives in extraordinary ways.

In the weeks leading up to DogFest Bay Area 2026, I'm raising funds to help Canine Companions continue this life-changing work. If you're able, please consider making a donation. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps place another amazing service dog with someone whose life will be changed forever.

Thank you for your generosity and for helping make this mission possible.
