Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of friends, family, and supporters, I was able to raise $1,660 for Canine Companions. Every dollar helped support the training and care of service dogs that bring independence, confidence, and joy to people who need it most.

This year, I’m proud to continue the journey. What started as a way to honor my beloved Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, Odin, has grown into something deeply meaningful to me. Odin wasn’t a service dog, but his love, loyalty, and steady presence showed me just how powerful the human-canine bond can be. Supporting Canine Companions is my way of helping others experience that life-changing connection on an even greater level.

Canine Companions provides expertly trained service dogs to adults, children, and veterans with disabilities - completely free of charge. These dogs don’t just assist with tasks; they open doors to independence, confidence, and new possibilities.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps move this mission forward:

• $25 helps provide service dog vests

• $50 feeds a dog in professional training for a month

• $100 supports medical and wellness care

• $500 funds ongoing support for a human-canine team

• $1,000 helps feed three dogs through their full training journey

Let’s Make This Year Even More Impactful
