I’m participating in DogFest Southwest 2026 because I’ve experienced firsthand how life-changing a service dog can be. Nico VI has completely transformed my life by bringing comfort, confidence, and a kind of unconditional support that’s hard to put into words. He’s not just my service dog; he’s a constant source of strength and joy.

That’s why this mission matters so much to me.

Through Canine Companions, expertly trained service dogs are provided completely free of charge to adults, children, and veterans with disabilities. These dogs do more than assist—they restore independence, build confidence, and change lives in profound, lasting ways.

Right now, I’m raising money to help make that possible for someone else.

But I can’t do it alone.

Every dollar you give goes directly toward training and placing these incredible service dogs with people who are waiting for a life-changing partner, just like I found in Nico. Your donation, no matter the size, truly makes a difference.

If Nico has taught me anything, it’s that one dog can change everything.

Please consider donating today and helping me reach my goal. Together, we can give someone the same life-changing support, independence, and joy that Nico VI has given me.

Thank you for being part of this.
