Canine Companions for Independence

The assistance dogs we breed, raise and train aren’t just the ears, hands and legs of their human partners. They’re also goodwill ambassadors and often, their best friends. They open up new opportunities and new possibilities, and spread incredible joy. We unite people with dogs in a powerful program that leads to greater independence and confidence.

Deliver the Dream

Deliver the Dream’s program meets the many needs of families dealing with critical illness by tailoring the experience to the unique medical and adaptive needs of the ill family member, and well as to the whole family. We currently use 3 conference centers in Delray Beach, Live Oak and Haines City, Florida to host our retreats. The program is designed to be a thoroughly inclusive experience for the entire family unit. The objective is to provide a more effective environment for conveying the techniques, skills, activities and exercises to reinforce and sustain a positive impact on all members of the family. Each retreat includes a blend of recreational, therapeutic activities such as expressive arts, team building exercises to promote better communication; and psycho/social activities such as large and small group discussion sessions and workshops. Activities are scheduled throughout the 3 days to allow a greater investment of emotion as the retreat progresses.
