Chrystal PO Box 1022 Philadelphia, PA 19107-1022. Puppy Raisers provide food, shelter and training and lots of love and attention to develop puppies into happy, healthy adult dogs. In training classes attended by puppies and puppy raisers, both learn canine skills and make new friends. Quality time with the puppy raiser prepares the puppy for its lifelong role as a companion to a person with a disability. Since 1975, Canine Companions for Independence has been training dogs to assist people with physical and developmental disabilities.
Some People wait a lifetime for a miracle . . .
We raise them one at a time. I've learned that it is just as exciting starting on your 19th puppy as it is starting on your first CCI puppy. I've learned that puppy kisses can make anything better. I've learned that if CCI could bottle puppy breath, that they could raise a million dollars. I've learned that I can not go out formally without my CCI puppy and not be wearing Golden Retriever hair as an accessory.
