What Has 39,000 Square Feet,
Humans and dogs.
Just mentioning
the two together makes us smile. Conjures memories. The first time we
saw our childhood pet. The spontaneous laughter watching our dogs
bark and run as they play. The uplifting joy when our dogs welcome
us home, wagging their whole bodies. It’s a unique bond between
a human and a dog. A sustained connection filled with love, loyalty,
devotion, joy, and friendship.
At Canine Companions for Independence we value, trust and
have faith in this bond. We’re lucky to experience and witness the
accomplishments this bond can inspire. Each of the over 3,000 CCI
graduate teams (partnerships of an adult or child with disabilities and
their assistance dog) provide examples of how valuing and nurturing
this bond changes experiences, lives, families, and communities.
All the work done at CCI, from breeding to professional training,
holds at its heart our value of the human animal bond. This bond is
made possible by you, our loyal and generous benefactors.
This CCI Annual Report shares snapshots of how our work
provides an opportunity for this human animal bond to express all of
its complexities and simplicities.
We hope you enjoy this publication, and again thank you for
making it possible for CCI to serve people with disabilities.

O
n October 4, 2008, over 500 people fl ocked to Medford, New York, to celebrate the grand opening of CCI’s newest campus, The Miller Family Campus. Graduates, puppy raisers, supporters and friends toured the facility, attended demonstrations and sampled tasty food and wine. Graduate dogs greeted their puppy raisers with “whole body” wags. Visitors came away impressed by what Canine Companions does and with a greater understanding of what this incredible campus will be able to accomplish through the generosity of donors varying from ten-years-old to one-hundred-years-old from the Pacifi c to Atlantic coast and everywhere in between. Additionally, Anne and Wayne Gittinger of Seattle, Washington offered a $1.5 million matching grant to complete the campaign in 2009.
“The Miller Family Campus brings us twice as many kennels, four times the number of training rooms and fully equipped and accessible dorm rooms to better serve Team Training participants and fully meet the needs of the Northeast Region,” said Corey Hudson, CEO of Canine Companions.
“It’s amazing to see how the miracle of a CCI dog improves the lives of so many people—not just the graduate. The Miller Family Campus will serve people in ways unimaginable to most of us,” shared John Miller.
“The campus was incredible and completely accessible. I got to focus
on learning—not worrying about if I had everything I needed.
Being in the dorms with all my classmates and cooking and eating
together gave us a chance to get to know each other and really build
a community.”

Our 3,000th Graduate Team,
Emily Elkins and her mom Kelly
graduated with Skilled Companion
dog Jacklyn in August 2008.

Will the Dog Really Be Able to
Open the Refrigerator Door?
A
Skilled Companion Jacklyn carries
Emily’s lunch sack for her.
s Kelly and her thirteen-year-old daughter Emily, challenged with cerebral palsy, traveled to Canine Companions for their Team Training to receive an assistance dog, they felt excited and nervous at the same time. Will the dog really be able to open the refrigerator door? Will junior high girls be more accepting of Emily if there is an assistance dog by her side?
Now, they know that Jacklyn can open not only the refrigerator door, but also the sliding glass door and pick up the pencils Emily drops while she’s doing her homework, and reach the light switches, and carry bags and other things, including her bright pink lunch sack. They also know that the junior high girls aren’t just more accepting, but now they’re also more educated about people with disabilities. And the Elkins family sees that Emily’s life has changed and will continue to change thanks to the independence, confi dence and self-esteem that Jacklyn helps to create for her.
For Emily independence looks like a black lab wearing a blue vest and carrying a bright pink lunch sack to the kitchen counter. Confi dence is entering a junior high gymnasium in a wheelchair with Jacklyn by her side, and educating classmates about the skills of an assistance dog and the realities of disabilities. And self-esteem is Emily’s ear-to-ear grin next to Jacklyn’s wagging tail as Emily’s mom Kelly says, “Thanks for bringing your laundry basket Emily,” after Jacklyn carried the laundry basket for her.

Wounded Veterans Initiative
E
veryone is moved in one way or another by our veterans returning home. At CCI we knew we could help, and we launched a special Wounded Veterans Initiative. In February 2008, Jeffrey Adams, a veteran of the Iraq confl ict graduated with Service Dog Sharif to be our fi rst wounded veteran team.
In 2004 Jeffrey lost his leg while serving in Iraq. Since then Jeffrey has recovered from his injury and walks with a prosthetic leg. Additionally, he has learned to ski and is a professional ski instructor helping severely wounded veterans learn to ski and experience sports post injury, just as they did before their injuries.
Service seems to be the common thread in these major life changes for Jeffrey. He lost his leg in service for our country. He volunteers to serve other disabled veterans. And now he has a Service Dog, Sharif, from Canine Companions for Independence.
Independence is a part of who Jeffrey is. Katie, his wife, explains, “He’s as independent as his stubborn brain will let him be.” Now, CCI Service Dog Sharif helps Jeffrey express his independence.
“I left the fi eld. Retired from the military. And CCI hooked me up with a different kind of battle buddy to watch my back,” shares Jeffrey.
“My goal is to
hopefully help the
healing process for
veterans coming home.
I don’t want anyone
else to suffer.”

e vowed to always be there for her but he had to work out of town every weekend, so he fi lled out the Canine Companions for Independence hearing dog application for her. She loved to laugh with friends; he loved to see her laugh. How would she hear her friends ringing the doorbell? He completed the application for her. Michelle is hard of hearing and her husband knew that a Canine Companions hearing dog would alert her to different environmental sounds that Michelle might miss on her own. Sounds like a doorbell, microwave timer or smoke alarm.
“He did the application for me because he wanted to make sure that I was taken care of in his absence,” shares Michelle. “He passed away suddenly just before I was accepted into the CCI program, but having Marguerite is a way of him taking care of me in his absence,” Michelle continues.
Now Michelle and Marguerite are quite the inseparable team. On the way to work at a busy medical center, Marguerite keeps Michelle aware of the sirens all around by pointing her nose in their direction. As if the traffi c and emergency vehicles weren’t enough to negotiate, the hospital is also being renovated and the hazards of a construction site are all around. “Marguerite lets me know if there are construction noises around the corner or behind me so I don’t get run over,” explains Michelle.
After work it’s off to the park for a run where Michelle is known as “Marguerite’s mom.” Then back home, where things have changed since Marguerite came into Michelle’s life.
“My neighbors stop by to visit me now. I used to not hear them ring the doorbell, but now Marguerite alerts me to them and I feel like a part of the neighborhood. This is the fi rst time in my life to live alone, and she keeps me from truly being alone,” says Michelle.

n 2004, Jeff Greene and Allan Lepine became volunteer puppy raisers and brought their fi rst puppies, Harley IV and Daniel respectively, into their lives and into their workplace. Since that time another colleague, Donna Sword has also become a Canine Companions volunteer puppy raiser. Jeff, Donna and Allan all work for P&G Pet Care where dogs and companion animal nutrition are part of the water cooler discussions. The three colleagues arrange lunchtime play dates for the puppies and act as support and inspiration for each other. Of course each puppy brings their own personality to the offi ce with them as well. Donna shares, “Inga will pass the time in the offi ce by sticking her nose in the water bowl and blowing bubbles.”
Allan, Donna, Jeff and all Canine Companions volunteer puppy raisers provide the puppies with basic obedience training and lots of socialization opportunities. Beyond that, they give limitlessly of themselves to the puppies they raise for one reason, to change the life of a person challenged with a disability.
“Being a small part of Canine Companions for Independence is something I’m very proud about. They change the world the old fashion way, one team at a time,” shares Jeff.
P&G Pet Care (Iams/Eukanuba brands) have supported CCI in a variety of ways for many years. CCI puppies are fed Eukanuba to keep them healthy and optimize their growth. Visit cci.org/puppyraiser to learn
