There are so many reasons I became a puppy
raiser I am not sure I can list them all, but first and foremost, the
opportunity to possibly help "give the gift of independence" is the
one that stands out. Over the years of loving dogs, volunteering with pups and
people with different abilities really pushed our family to start raising. Then
after a freak accident paralyzed our son's best friend at the age of 16, it
became a matter of "Now is the time." That wonderful young man
just graduated in May with his service dog, Toli, and they couldn't be
happier! I am still awed daily at the stories I hear of everyone's
experience who receive this life changing gift. Puppy raising is such a
gift to US, and I am so thankful and blessed to be welcomed into this CCI
family. Thank you all for what YOU do, knowing that we are on this
journey with Stielau and all of you makes it so much more special!
