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.
All donations made today will be in partnership with Dogs with Wings and Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink.
