Companion Dog
Companion Dogs provide crucial support for individuals who benefit from a trained service dog but do not require public access. These dogs enhance their clients’ quality of life and independence by:
- Assisting with physical needs
- Enhancing social interactions
- Supporting well-being at home and in dog-friendly public places
Dogs with Wings will consider the application of future Companion Dog applicants if the following criteria are met:
- Applicants must have a disability (assessed on a case-by-case basis).
- Child applicants must be over the age of 3 years old at application and will not be considered for placement until they are over the age of 5 years old.
- Is able to meet the emotional, physical, and financial needs of the Companion Dog and offer a stable home environment.
- Demonstrates the need for a Companion Dog and that they are not able to train their own pet dog to assist the applicant.
- DWW requires our Companion Dog to be the only dog in the home and we cannot assist clients who have a pet dog(s) (exceptions can be considered for other resident DWW dogs).
Companion dogs are adoptable for $3,000 and will still get up to a year of follow up care. If you have any questions, please contact our Adoptions Department at adoptions@dogswithwings.ca.
