Can Do Canines Assistance Dogs is a Minneapolis, Minnesota-based nonprofit organization in the Individual and Family Services sector that trains and provides assistance dogs to people with disabilities at no cost. Since its founding in 1989, the organization has placed more than 750 fully trained dogs with clients whose needs include mobility support, hearing loss, seizure disorders, diabetes-related hypoglycemia unawareness, or autism, aiming to enhance daily functioning and independence. The company serves individuals and families by supplying service dogs that address specific disability-related challenges, offering a long-term solution that reduces reliance on other supports. Can Do Canines operates within a field that includes other service dog organizations, positioning itself as a provider of specialized, life-enhancing partnerships between clients and trained dogs. A recent development noted is the organization’s collaboration with multiple prison camps in Minnesota and Wisconsin to help develop service dogs, illustrating an expansion of its training and production network.
