Canine Companions Puppy Program Manager Stu Wahrenbrock will provide an informal overview of this life-changing program over light refreshments. Canine Companions assistance dogs are trained in up to 50 commands to help people with disabilities accomplish practical tasks. The program could not exist without volunteer puppy raisers, who foster future assistance dogs for the first year and a half of their lives.
Enjoy this unique opportunity to meet volunteers and puppies in program, speak with Stu and learn about the many rewards of puppy raising for all involved. Come for a few minutes or stay for an hour! No pets please; puppies in program and working dogs are welcome.
