Volunteering for Canine Companions for Independence is an opportunity that I would recommend to others.  I've always enjoyed working with animals, and I’ve seen firsthand the impact that these dogs have on people.

Volunteering with Canine Companions gives me the opportunity to help a dog learn. Once graduated and matched with their new person, the dog not only assists a person, but they become part of the person’s life—their new best friend. Together, they form a bond that can never be broken.

My school requires service hours for all students. Working with Canine Companions for Independence was a perfect way to combine my love for dogs with my desire to give back to society. Seeing the dogs progress is quite rewarding, especially when their journey culminates in graduation. 

My experience has been amazing. I hope that I can continue to be a part of CCI.
