Carolina Canines for Service is dedicated to empowering people with disabilities. We enable them to achieve
greater independence and enhanced quality of life through the gift of specially trained service dogs.
A service dog is individually trained to perform tasks for the benefit of a person with a physical disability other than blindness.
It takes almost three years to train a service dog, and once fully trained, each dog, now valued at over $38,000, is placed with a recipient at NO COST!
Carolina Canines for Service was
founded on December 1, 1996 in Wilmington, NC.
During the past eleven years,
we have placed 27 service dogs.
That means over $1,000,000 worth of
service dogs have been placed in
the past eleven years with no government
funding. We rely on
volunteer service, individual donor
contributions and grants
from various charitable foundations.
Our success in helping our clients
with disabilities has literally meant
“growing pains” for Carolina Canines.
We have now outgrown our
space on 23rd Street and are looking
for a new home. This event is
intended to publicize our service to
the community, finance our operations,
and help raise funds for a
new facility. We can not do this
without the help and support of our
community.
