Congratulations to the 17 Can Do Canines teams who received diplomas in recognition of graduating from Can Do Canines assistance dog program. The Graduation took place on Saturday, May 17 at Can Do Canines facility in New Hope, Minnesota.
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 three Minnesota prisons, the dogs are reared and taught basic obedience and early assistance dog skills. After 18 months, they are returned to Can Do Canines for final training and to begin their new life with a person in need, free of charge.
Congrats grads!
