Our team is proud to support DogFest Seattle and raise funds for Canine Companions, whose mission is to provide expertly trained service dogs to adults, children, and veterans with disabilities—free of charge. We love dogs and want to celebrate the human-canine bond and the joy they bring us, whether as pets or service dogs.

As a recent graduate team of the program, we’re especially excited to kick off the school year at Moorlands Elementary with Flanagan VIII, our new facility dog, and to see the joy she will bring to our school community.

In the weeks leading up to DogFest Seattle, we’re raising funds to support this life-changing mission. The impact these dogs have on the lives of people with disabilities is truly incredible. You can help by donating online to support our team—every gift brings us closer to getting more amazing Canine Companions service dogs into the lives of those who need them most.

Thank you for your support, and we hope to see you at DogFest—grab a leash and join the fun! ?
