About this organization
Mission
Can Do Canines is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for people with disabilities by creating mutually beneficial partnerships with specially trained dogs. We envision a world in which everyone who needs and wants an assistance dog can have one. We place dogs in the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
About
Assistance Dog Training Services: During 2019 we received 482 application requests for assistance dogs from people with disabilities. The individuals are attempting to live their lives independently. Due to the lack of funding for training assistance dogs, some of these individuals apply to more than one program or some struggle to pay significant fees to other organizations in order to get an assistance dog sooner.Each application we receive for an assistance dog is reviewed for complete content and then all potential clients are interviewed. During this interview, the potential client learns what is involved with obtaining and working with their new partner and how much their life may change, both in the workplace and their home. This interview provides Can Do Canines with information on their environment, strengths, weaknesses, range of motion, lifestyle and expectations of the potential client. See the attachment to form 990 for more details.
