A fantastic article in the @nytimes about the shortage of volunteers to help our members raise puppies. Puppy raisers do an incredible job helping to create future #assistancedogs. If you're inspired to volunteer after reading this, get in touch! https://lnkd.in/dygqJV8C https://lnkd.in/eCASWQz Canine Companions?

It takes A LOT of work for an organisation to meet our exceptionally high standards and become accredited by ADI. Once accredited, all our members have to undergo the same rigorous process every 5 years. We celebrated those members who successfully passed their recent (re)accreditation at our Conference. Many congratulations to all of you!

It was great to catch up with some of our members at Crufts? today. It's always good to take the opportunity to show the world what these incredible #assistancedogs can do!

Last night's banquet was an opportunity to congratulate some of our members who had passed their accreditation or re-accreditation, and to celebrate the achievements of our amazing Executive Director who is retiring later this year. #ADITogether #assistancedogs #lifechangers

That's it! Our 2025 conference is over. A very special thanks to our hosts Canine Companions??, and to all our sponsors, committees, staff and attendees. You've all helped us to Inspire, Impact, Innovate. See you at our next conference in 2027 in the UK? https://lnkd.in/gd2zkxX #ADITogether

It's time to bring conference to a close. Don't miss our closing speaker Paul Callahan and his assistance dog Newsome, trained by @canineorg https://canine.org/ . Paul says "With Newsome at my side 24 hours a day, life is much more effective and enjoyable. From picking up his leash for me in the morning, to opening the door to my home, to pushing the elevator button to go outside, Newsome does it all! And thankfully - Newsome is happy to pick up everything I drop all day long!".? #ADITogether #lifechangers
