Even Heroes Need Heroes
We are committed to uniting service dogs with military veterans. We do this by generating awareness of the benefits of service dogs, and hosting fundraisers throughout the year so we can help sponsor their training. Thanks to the continuous generosity of our pet parents and community supporters, we're making an impact.
We're honored to highlight our furry, four-legged heroes who have graduated from training as loyal, hardworking companions for the brave men and women who served our country. It's hard work to become a service dog for a veteran and only the best make the cut. The need for service dogs among veterans is great and with your support, we hope to sponsor many more.
MEET OUR SERVICE DOGS
Mango
Canine Companions
Not long ago, Canine Companions adorable puppy, Mango, embarked on his remarkable journey towards becoming a service dog. In those early days, Mango was a whirlwind of boundless energy, eagerly discovering the world around him. Under the dedicated guidance of his puppy raiser, he was prepared for the next stage of his journey – professional training.
With tears of joy, Mango’s loving puppy raiser, Carter, entrusted the leash to the capable hands of professional trainers Hailey and Kim at the Northeast Regional Training Center in Medford, New York. Over the course of the next months, Hailey and Kim diligently worked with Mango, preparing him with the skills he needed to become an expertly trained service dog.
Throughout his professional training, Mango honed his skills, mastering tasks such as retrieving dropped items, opening doors, and providing assistance with anxiety. Thanks to Hailey and Kim’s efforts, Mango now excels in his duties not only at home but also in public settings such as movie theaters, grocery stores, and office environments. Mango also received comprehensive medical and temperamental testing to ensure that he will be healthy and happy in his upcoming role.
