Corpsman2PA Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 My wife is currently raising a pup for Canine Companions for Independence (CCI), and they're wanting to get more dogs out to wounded vets. Just wanted to share this with you all here in hopes that you or somebody you know may benefit from this organization. Its all free of charge. Here's a quick youtube link to a quick video on some vets that have dogs. Especially as providers, this can be an excellent resource not just for veterans, but for other patients that may have a need. Thanks for checking it out. -Corpsman2PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonlegit Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I love this. As a side note, its nice in this particular video to see the dogs get placed with what looks to be like motivated handlers. There is a service dog that comes in routinely with a malingerer (with all the usual traits...obese, inactive, opiate dependence, angry, etc) at our ED and... basically the dog looks miserable.

Corpsman2PA Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Yeah, this company takes great care in matching the dogs with viable, motivated and deserving individuals. Sometimes it can take over a year for the right dog-to-human match. These dogs are the real deal (specifically bred through the company and raised by volunteers). You won't see a lap dog ankle-biter with a vest off of ebay from this company. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixietink Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Loved the video! I have helped co-raise a pup for CCI, and they are a wonderful organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
