This local organization was originally founded in Grand Ledge, MI, now located in Dimondale, MI and has been providing service dogs to our community and veterans. Over the years, they have successfully trained and placed diabetic alert dogs, seizure alert dogs, mobility assistance dogs, autism assistance dogs, and facility dogs for school districts. Participants will have a chance to meet some of the trainers and dogs at the race. We are hoping to have some of the new puppies there as well.
Mission Statement: Canines for Change provides highly trained service and facility dogs that enhance the lives of children and adults with disabilities by empowering them to achieve active and independent lifestyles while also educating the community on the benefits of facility and service dogs through community education and outreach.
