The individuals are attempting to live their lives independently. Due to the lack of funding for training assistance dogs, some of these individuals apply to more than one program or some struggle to pay significant fees to other organizations in order to get an assistance dog sooner.Each application we receive for an assistance dog is reviewed for complete content and then all potential clients are interviewed. During this interview, the potential client learns what is involved with obtaining and working with their new partner and how much their life may change, both in the workplace and their home. This interview provides Can Do Canines with information on their environment, strengths, weaknesses, range of motion, lifestyle and expectations of the potential client. See the attachment to form 990 for more details. 287406 Puppy Raising and Dog Acquisition: The puppy program included 237 dogs this year. These pups were either donated to or bred by Can Do Canines and raised by inmates or volunteers. 47 dogs came into the kennels for final training. We had 434 volunteer Foster Homes and Puppy Raiser homes this year, with 130 being new in 2022. These volunteers are a very important part of our services. Puppies are placed with volunteer families at eight weeks of age for early socialization. This process is crucial for the puppy to reach its full potential as an adult. Puppy Raisers work with our Puppy Program staff and Trainers. They attend training classes and public access outings during the time they are raising their puppy. This program will continue to play an important role in our future success. We received 156 requests for information regarding volunteering to raise a Foster Puppy during 2022.See the attachment to form 990 for more details. 15200 Public Education and Community Outreach: Public relations efforts in 2022 resulted in 82 media placements locally and nationwide.
