Our Mission

Clemson - Canine Companions 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. Volunteer puppy raisers provide specially-bred puppies a safe home, take them to obedience classes, serve up a healthy diet, provide socialization opportunities and give lots of love. Being on a college campus provides the optimal amount of stimulus for service dogs and allows the students to benefit from the dog training as well. Members of the club will assist with dog sitting and may be a primary recipient of a dog.
