Can Do Canines

Can Do Canines is the largest provider of assistance dogs in Minnesota. We place dogs for clients in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. Can Do Canines is one of only two Minnesota-based assistance dog organizations that is an accredited member of Assistance Dogs International.

Volunteers in Wisconsin and Minnesota host our dogs in their homes while the dogs are getting trained on the important tasks that they will do for the clients they are matched with after graduating our program.

Can Do Canines is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for people with disabilities by creating mutually beneficial partnerships with specially trained dogs. Our assistance dogs fetch amazing things. They provide the gifts of freedom, independence, and peace of mind to our clients and their families.

These wonderful canines are specially trained for our clients who live with disabilities that involve mobility challenges, hearing loss or deafness, seizure disorders, autism, or diabetes complicated by hypoglycemia unawareness. Dogs, training and supplies are provided to each client free of charge thanks to the work of dedicated volunteers and contributions from generous individuals, corporations, foundations and service groups like the Lions.
