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.
Follow Us on Social Media
In times of difficulty for all, we have chosen to highlight some of the local businesses that support Dogs with Wings! Today we would like to shoutout out Subway and our friend John Skafar!
Subway has been a supporter of Dogs with Wings for the past two years. They were a sponsor at our 2018 Gala, and they graciously provide us with meals to feed our clients and staff during our Team Trainings. We are so thankful for their support.
We encourage you to eat at Subway if you're looking for an affordable and quick dinner or lunch option. Most locations are still open with reduced hours. You can also order Subway off Skip the Dishes and have it delivered right to your front door!
Happy three year anniversary to our Executive Director, Doreen! Thank you for everything that you do for us. We’re grateful for your leadership, expertise, and support!
