Meet Haddie

Today our journey has begun as a Volunteer Puppy Raiser for Canine Companions for Independence (CCI). In the next 18 or less months, our newest four-legged friend will be living with us.
Our responsibility is to socialize the puppy to the big, wide world while teaching her basic commands. Upon her completion of being in our custody, she will be returned to CCI for Advanced Training. 

The goal for her is to be placed as an Assistance dog for a person with a specific disability that the dog has been trained to help, which will open the world to independence for the dog's Handler.

Teamwork. Dedication. Giving of our time and talent. We are ready for the journey. Please follow us on our All-Things-Haddie blog at Paws for Independence. Let the hard work and fun begin ... Yaaaaaa!!!
