I love Erma... You love Erma... The kids at the pediatric ward at AdventHealth Orlando love Erma too!
DogFest is a fundraiser for Canine Companions to ensure that they can raise more fantastic dogs like Erma. CC has a fantastic impact on many people around the world - check out their stats below:
8,500+ graduate teams placed since our founding in 1975
603 working dog teams, including 215 therapy dogs, placed in 2025
2,800+ active graduate teams nationwide
6,100+ active volunteers nationwide
1,100+ puppies being raised by volunteers
First member of Assistance Dogs International to earn full accreditation
Several hundred Canine Companions release dogs currently functioning in such human services roles as bomb searching, border patrol, customs, and therapy and guide dogs.
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 (at no cost!). Every little bit helps.
