Canine Companions for Independence
Founded in 1975, Canine Companions for Independence is a non-profit organization that enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing highly trained assistance dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality partnerships. Headquartered in Santa Rosa, CA, Canine Companions is the largest non-profit provider of assistance dogs, and is recognized worldwide for the excellence of its dogs, and the quality and longevity of the matches it makes between dogs and people. The result is a life full of increased independence and loving companionship. Most recently we raised $1325 for Canine Companions for Independence by taking part in the Bay Area Dog Fest Walk n Roll.

Muttville
Muttville Senior Dog Rescue was started in 2007 with the mission to save dogs aged 7 and older through foster, adoption, and fospice care (combination of foster and hospice). Our hospitals are incredibly proud to partner with Muttville in an effort to save more lives and promote the importance of routine/follow-up veterinary care. We assist Muttville by providing everything from exams, fospice care to surgical procedures for senior pets in need. Since inception, Muttville has saved over 7400 senior dogs. Most recently the VetnCare team attended the Muttville "Senior Prom" and donated $3000 towards their amazing efforts.
