I'm participating in DogFest North Central because I love dogs and 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.
My canine therapy team partner Hobart ("Bart") made it through 18 months of puppy raising and 5 months of professional training before Canine Companions decided he wasn't quite service dog material. About 50% of the puppies raised actually become service dogs, with many of the release dogs going on to other great careers like Bart!
Bart has a heart of gold and LOVES people, making him a wonderful Canine Companions Therapy Dog, with us spreading joy and stress relief throughout Central Wisconsin, including the Appleton International Airport. Bart is a "Starr" in Wisconsin!!
Leading up to September 15th's DogFest North Central, Bart and I are raising money to support the Canine Companions mission. The impact Bart's dog buddies have on the lives of people with disabilities is incredible. Help us reach our 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.
Thank you!
Jane & Hobart/Bart WOOF!
