Pennies for Pets Raises Over $14K for Canine Assistants in Milton

Earlier this year, 14 VCA Animal Hospitals in Georgia and Tennessee collected donations by encouraging clients to round up their transaction amounts to the nearest dollar or donate online, enter raffles, get one of the famous VCA Woof or Meow hats, or give whatever was comfortable.

The local campaign raised $14,645 for Canine Assistants, a nonprofit service dog program based in Milton. The donation will enable them to provide care to at least 15 Canine Assistants recipients for after-care needs.

Whatever the dogs need such as food, vaccinations, surgery for the life of the dog is provided by Canine Assistants if the families cannot afford it. Its a growing need, says Jennifer Arnold, founder and executive director of Canine Assistants.

Canine Assistants is a nonprofit service dog school based in Milton, whose mission is to educate and empower people and dogs, so they may enhance the lives of one another. Canine Assistants has graduated over 2,000 service dogs from its program and has placed them, free of charge, with both children and adults.
