“Neddie is the most lovable little alarm clock anyone could ask for. In the morning, he does this tiny howl that isn’t loud enough to wake the neighbors, but it for sure gets me up. Neddie also lets me know when my phone rings and the minute I’ve dropped something. I feel safer, more confident, and less like I’m going to lose the important things. It’s been a huge weight off my shoulders, and it’s a lot less to worry about.” Read more about Ally and her Hearing Assist Dog Neddie.

By Jessica Kellogg – When Ally was a child, her mom noticed that there would be times in conversations when Ally would be guessing what the other person said; this eventually led to a diagnosis of neurosensory hearing loss. For Ally, this means that she is deaf at certain pitches and tones. “It ...

Yesterday, Can Do Canines supporters raised an incredible $110,423 to continue creating mutually beneficial partnerships with specially trained dogs. It’s because of your generosity that our assistance dogs will always be able to transform lives, free of charge, for the individuals who need them.

In addition to crucial funding to continue our mission, YOU are helping us name our next litter of puppies! Yesterday, we collected names starting with the letter “H.” The future canine superheroes of the “H” Litter, who will go on to transform lives as assistance dogs, are eagerly anticipated to arrive early next year. Stay tuned for the winning names and puppy updates once these bundles of joy arrive!

Your generosity funds everything from early socialization for days-old puppies to supporting our 300+ active teams. You are personally investing in our puppies with purpose and their future human partners.

Sasha and her puppies left for the weaning prison today. Before that, they got lots of playtime. These pups are gaining confidence in new environments and love exploring. 🐕This was Sasha's final litter for us, and she is now entering retirement. She has been such a great momma to all of her pups.

🎓These puppies have important journeys ahead of them — journeys that will transform lives. One day, these puppies could graduate as one of the six types of assistance dogs we train.

You have the opportunity to name and follow the journey of a future assistance dog with your gift of $100 or more.

Make a donation today and help us choose puppy names starting with the letter “H.” The selected names will be announced upon the birth of our next litter, and the winners will receive two updates a year for their named puppy throughout their training journey, and even an invite to that puppy’s graduation! 💫Donate today at can-do.link/gtmd.

Can Do Canines

Can Do Canines (New Hope, Minn.) is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for people with disabilities by creating mutually beneficial partnerships with specially trained dogs.

Since 1989, Can Do Canines has provided assistance dogs to people with disabilities, free of charge. Our fully-trained dogs, sometimes adopted from local animal shelters, are provided to clients with mobility challenges, hearing loss or deafness, seizure disorders, diabetes complicated by hypoglycemia unawareness or children with autism.

Can Do Canines is the largest provider of assistance dogs in Minnesota and relies on individual contributions to support its important work. It costs more than $25,000 to train and place an assistance dog.
