Help Canine Companions reach its goal of $350,000 to continue changing lives with expertly trained service dogs free of charge.  

Be a part of something big in the Southwest! Each year, Canine Companions raises money and awareness for its mission through Peer-to-Peer fundraising, powered by passionate individuals like you. Whether you're joining a team, starting your own, or fundraising independently, your efforts make a lasting impact.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you, whether in person or from afar, and we’re grateful for your dedication and support.
