Community
Dogs with Wings is responsive to our community, adding programs and services that our clients need. Beginning in 1996, we offered Guide Dogs for the blind and visually impaired. In 2003, we added Service Dogs in response to client demand. In 2007, we added our Autism Service Dog Program, then 1 of only 2 in Canada. Recently, we have placed a variety of Facility and Companion Dogs to our client list.
Volunteers
We are also tied to our community via our Volunteers who do so much for us. Since 1996, we have had literally hundreds of people assisting by fostering our Dogs-in-Training. Today, Dogs with Wings operates puppy programs in Edmonton, Calgary, and Grande Prairie, with over 250 active Volunteers.
Collaboration
Through our membership with the Assistance Dogs International, The International Guide Dog Federation, and the Canadian Association of Guide Assistance Dogs Schools, we are taking an active part in the development of our industry, nationally and around the world.
Serving People
Our organization exists to serve individuals with disabilities. Our clients are valued members of society who want to make a positive impact in their communities. Our job is to empower our clients through our programs to assist them in achieving their dreams and goals.

We are so lucky for the support that we receive from the Dogs with Wings community. Lynsay, of Cloud 9 Stampers (Lynsay Mahon - Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrator) is DWW London’s Adult Raiser, DWW Odin’s sponsor, and she donates her time and resources to us in so many ways!
Not only did Lynsay host a very successful fundraiser for us earlier in the year, the Flying Colours Craft Day, where she raised funds for us and donated cards for our volunteers and clients (see below), but she and her daughters continue to make cards for us! Thank you Lynsay, Emily, and Eliza. We are so lucky to have amazing volunteers like you! 🐾
