DCTC Lions donate to Can-Do-Canines

The DCTC Lions Club presents a check for $300 to Can-Do-Canines.

The Dakota County Technical College Lions Club donated $300.00 to Can-Do-Canines March 30th.  For the 3rd consecutive year DCTC held a seminar to inform the students, faculty, and staff of the importance of Can-Do-Canines and their abilities.  Each year a speaker brings their companion with them to talk about how the process works and how to obtain a disability companion. This year DCTC alum Christine LaMott accepted the check.

Can-Do-Canines has been training dogs since 1989 with a facility located in New Hope, Minnesota.  Since its inception, Can-Do-Canines has graduated 475 assistance dogs.  The disabilities the dog are trained to help with include: hearing loss, mobility challenges, type 1 diabetes, and childhood autism.  Can-Do-Canines’ mission is to help everyone that needs an assistance dog to obtain a good well trained companion.
