Can Do Canines is a nonprofit organization based in New Hope, Minnesota.[1][2] It trains and places assistance dogs with people with disabilities without any cost.[3]
History
Can Do Canines was founded in 1987 by Alan M. Peters.[4][5] The organization trains and places six types of assistance dogs including mobility assistance dogs, hearing dogs, seizure response Dogs, Diabetes alert dogs, Autism assistance dogs and facility dogs.[6] These dogs are trained to assist in various day to day routine tasks and medical situations to the disabled people.[7]
Many dogs are raised by volunteer puppy raisers including prisoners before beginning formal training with professional staff.[8][9] Paul Schwarzkopf, the company's marketing coordinator, stated that it costs $25,000 to train each dog, and the company trained 46 dogs in 2015.[10]
