I'm participating in DogFest Northwest because I am a grateful recipient of my second Canine Companions hearing dog. Many of you knew Seaton and know Zella. Not only does my hearing dog enhance my life, she (and Seaton before) enriches the lives of those around me, whether they be close friends or someone we pass at the grocery store.

If you know me, you know I LOVE dogs! 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 Northwest, I am raising money to support the Canine Companions mission. The impact these dogs have on the lives of people with disabilities, like me, is incredible. 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!
