2016 Fall Graduation

Can Do Canines graduated 17 assistance teams at our facility in New Hope on October, 22, 2016. Clients received diplomas in recognition of graduating from Can Do Canines assistance dog program and the dogs received âdoggie diplomasâ (Nylabones). Various breeds of assistance dogs that graduated help people with a variety of disabilities such as diabetes, seizure response, hearing loss, mobility and autism...The Graduation Ceremony represents the culmination of a long journey for the assistance dogs and their partners. Beginning with puppy raisers, either in the homes of volunteers or at one of four Minnesota prisons, the dogs are reared and taught basic obedience and early assistance dog skills. After 18 months, theyâre returned to Can Do Canines for final training and to begin their new life with a person in need, free of charge...For more information visit www.can-do-canines.org
