Canine Companions Ltd

Our Mission

Canine Companions, Ltd. was founded in February 2001 with a mission to enhance the lives of individuals and families in need through the support of highly trained service and companion animals. Our primary goal is to serve the elderly by providing protection and companionship, assist individuals with paraplegia by supporting daily mobility and independence, and support low-income families with pets by providing access to food and essential veterinary care. Canine Companions, Ltd. currently provides services throughout the state of Arizona. We specialize in rescuing stranded and stray dogs and placing them with individuals who have mobility and other physical impairments, thereby improving both quality of life and personal independence. Our programs include several types of assistance animals, including service dogs, in-home companion dogs, and residential (community) companion dogs. Each animal is carefully trained and matched to meet the unique needs of the individuals and communities we serve. Like many nonprofit organizations, ongoing funding is essential to sustain and expand our mission. Our fundraising efforts focus on acquiring and training assistance dogs for recipients and developing a dedicated facility for breeding, training, and housing these exceptional companions. Canine Companions, Ltd. is a nonprofit organization committed to caring for man’s best friend while serving elderly and vulnerable communities with compassion, dignity, and purpose.
