Thank you to ALL who donated to canine Guardians this season through the Cando GiveGuide! We so appreciate your support!

Our Mission

Our Goals

  

Canine Guardians Assistance Dogs' main goal is to raise, train, and place service dogs with PTSD veterans and their families at NO cost to the veteran. 


We also provide these trained dogs to people with disabilities. 


The training process is approximately 2 years. A Puppy Parent Trainer raises and socializes and trains the dog to perform over 90 commands including anxiety alerts,  turning on lights, opening and closing doors and drawers, retrieving objects, general protect, and many more. Ultimately, these service dogs will assist their veteran/disabled partner not just with needed duties but also with the whole healing process, providing constant companionship that supports the journey to recovery and/or just a better and safer day to day life.  


Our service dogs help with: 

  • Re-integration and socialization
  • Recognition of anxiety or distress
  • Interruption of nightmares
  • Increased confidence and ability


 

What are the emotional benefits of having a dog?
 

  • Service Dogs can make great companions. Having a dog as a companion can benefit anyone who likes dogs, including people with PTSD. For example, dogs:
  • Help bring out feelings of love. 
  • Are good companions. 
  • Take orders well when trained. This can be very comforting for a Service member or Veteran who was used to giving orders in the military. 
  • Are fun and can help reduce stress. 
  • Are a good reason to get out of the house, spend time outdoors, and meet new people.
     

Currently, the VA does not provide service dogs for physical or mental health conditions, including PTSD. VA does provide veterinary care for service dogs that are deemed medically necessary for the rehabilitation or restorative care plan of Veterans with permanent physical impairments. If research supports the use of service dogs for PTSD, VA will provide veterinary care for such dogs. Read more information on VA and service dogs.​

Canine Guardians Assistance Dogs trains service dogs to assist and enrich the daily lives of veterans with PTSD and people with disabilities. These dogs not only help with physical needs but also help heal emotional wounds, as well.

MORE ABOUT YOUR EMPLOYER & MATCHING YOUR DONATION

A LIST OF COMPANIES THAT MATCH -

   

See if your company matches-

BAY AREA COMPANIES THAT MATCH EMPLOYEE DONATIONS*

To our knowledge, the following local companies offer a matching gift when their employees make a personal donation to a nonprofit organization. This means that your employer may be willing to match all or part of your donation amount with its own donation to Canine Guardians Assistance Dogs.

A “matching gift” is a donation made by a corporation or foundation (on behalf of an Employee) that matches that employee’s contribution to a nonprofit organization. This can double, triple, or even quadruple your contribution! Our partial list of Bay Area corporations and foundations with matching gift programs is below. Contact your Human Resources department for information about your company’s program. If you find that your unlisted employer does offer a matching gift program, please let us know so that we can add them to our list. 

Thank you!

*Our list was compiled from other lists found online and may not be comprehensive or up to date, so please check with your employer. Your employer will provide you with all the information needed to process your matching gift.

About our dogs

A Canine Guardian Dog

 

  • In order to be a service dog with public access, the dog must receive specialized training and meet maximum  standards of behavior. Our service dogs are specially trained and fully socialized and capable of handling PTSD veterans' disabilities.   
  • But outside of training, these unique animals are still friendly and lovable. Our dogs offer support, love and unconditional understanding. They help establish schedules and routines through their feeding and walking requirements and they offer distraction through playtime. These animals serve as friends and confidants. They’re not just dogs; they’re part of a team.   
  • We believe our dogs are special and can truly help empower you to live a more healthy, more normal life.

    Why Donating is Good For You...

      

    Can a simple donation really make a difference in a person’s life! You bet! Ask any of our grateful service dog recipients (See Testimonials), they will tell you it has been a LIFE CHANGER!

    Here are 9 reasons why donating is good-

    1. Experience More Pleasure
    Donating money simply makes you feel better, which is something we can all benefit from.

    2. Help Others in Need
    When you donate your money, you help others who need it.

    3. Get a Tax Deduction
    If you give to an IRS-approved charity, you can write off donations on your tax return. Donating your cash is a great way to reduce the amount of money you send off to Uncle Sam, and for a good cause, to boot.

    4. Bring More Meaning to Your Life
    Any donation makes an impact! and can infuse your everyday life with more meaning. If you've been stuck in a rut, whether personally or professionally, sometimes the simple act of donating cash can do the trick and reinvigorate your life.

    5. Promote Generosity in Your Children
    When your kids see you donating money, they're much more likely to adopt a giving mindset as they grow up. 

    6. Motivate Friends and Family
    By giving, you can stroke passions in the folks around you, which is a very positive and tangible effect of your own giving.

    7. Realize that Every Little Bit Helps
    Dollars add up and they all make a difference!

    8. Improve Personal Money Management
    If you set a scheduled $100 donation each month , that can motivate you to be more attentive to your own finances. AND, see next section below to see if your company will match your donation!  

    9. Give, If You Can't Volunteer
    This might not necessarily be a positive effect of charitable giving, but if you're too busy to volunteer or can’t imagine being a puppy parent, then giving money is the perfect workaround. Writing out a check is a simple way to show you're willing to help others in any way you can.
