Thank you to everyone who made #NationalServiceDogMonth a success this year! 🐕🦺 Because of our supporters, we've been able to secure: 📜 21 state and 102 local proclamations to declare September as National Service Dog Month. ✍️ 2,153 petition signatures to get specific language added to the Americans with Disabilities Act, to make it against the law to misrepresent use of a fake #servicedog and a #disability for personal gain. 🎈 Five DogFest events in five different states, raising funds to help provide more service dogs to people with disabilities. It's been amazing to witness all the participation to celebrate and promote the importance of #servicedogs. We look forward to working with you all year to #CelebrateThePROS! 🎉 #LeadWithIndependence #community #proclamation #advocacy

#NationalServiceDogMonth Meet Megan and Service Dog Sir 🐕🦺💙 Megan was already a PRO service dog handler when she was matched with Service Dog Sir, who's trained to alert her to important sounds Megan can’t hear. Megan had many happy years with her first #servicedog, Ras, who allowed her to live more independently. Sir gladly picked up where Megan’s first dog left off, providing confidence and peace of mind, never missing a beat. Living with deafness, Megan relies on Sir to nudge her and lead her to important sounds at home and in public places. Megan doesn’t miss the notifications from her phone, trucks backing up in parking lots or even smoke alarms. “Sir is excellent at his job, which requires him to be listening – pretty much all the time – for important sounds and nudge me until I acknowledge him. He even let me know when I left croissants in the toaster oven and prevented a fire!” 🐾 Learn more about the duo by visiting our Meet the PROS page: bit.ly/3TD6I0n #CelebrateThePros #LeadWithIndependence #servicedogs #servicedogmonth #WorldDeafDay #LifeChangers Assistance Dogs International

Meet future #servicedog Pilot, raised by #volunteer puppy raiser and President of The PenFed Foundation Andrea McCarren! 🐶💛 PenFed Foundation’s partnership with Canine Companions helps provide more service dogs to veterans and others with disabilities. Pilot is the “spokes-dog” for this important nationwide campaign, which also recruits puppy raisers and encourages more corporations to allow employees to raise #futureservicedogs in the workplace. “Pilot is happy to represent Canine Companions and to demonstrate the difference service dogs are making for veterans and others with disabilities,” Andrea says. Pilot even has a standing invitation at The White House, although he skips the formal wear in favor of a yellow Canine Companions puppy vest! Canine Companions puppies are the #servicedogs of tomorrow! Pilot and his fellow puppies gain critical socialization and learn the foundation for skills they’ll need as working service dogs. 🐾 Learn more about Pilot and how you can sponsor future heroes: https://lnkd.in/gk83E-TS #NationalServiceDogMonth #CelebrateThePros #LeadWithIndependence #servicedogmonth #LifeChangers Assistance Dogs International PenFed Credit Union
