Helping our client's dreams take flight.
In June 2017, Dogs with Wings launched our Ditch-the-List Campaign. Due to high demand, our on-line Client applications were closed to the public as we work to fill the needs of our current waiting list. Our goal is to raise $1.5 million to breed, raise, train and match 50 teams (dogs with Clients) by June 30, 2018.

If you live in Grande Prairie, pease join us to learn more about how we train service dogs for Albertans with disabilities on Saturday, October 13th.
From 11am- 1:30pm, there will be a charity barbeque. At 1pm there will be a puppy information session so you can learn how you can become a volunteer in Grande Prairie with us. DWW Charlie, our Grande Prairie puppy in training, will be in attendance.
Please support us by bringing down your refundable bottles and containers. It costs $40,000+ to breed, raise, train, and place a single assistance dog into the home of a client. This process takes approximately two years to complete and the demand is great.
Bottles can be dropped off at Partners Naturally (9913-112 Ave, Grande Prairie, AB) anytime prior to October 13th or between 10:30am and 2:30pm on October 13th. Bottles can also be picked up from your home, just leave a message for Rebecca at 780-513-4074 with your address.
