In memory and honor of my beautiful Service Dog Patch, whom we lost on January 25, 2026, I'm participating in DogFest Southwest 2026.
I absolutely love dogs and I personally 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.
Leading up to DogFest Southwest 2026, I am raising money to support the Canine Companions mission. The impact these dogs have on the lives of people with disabilities is incredible. I personally know, because Patch changed my life when I needed him most -- after a medical negligence left me a quad amputee in a wheelchair.
Please 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 in advance for your generosity.
