YEAR END SUPPORT
Unleash Your
Giving.
Every life-changing partnership has a first cue. You.
Canine Partners of the Rockies trains mobility service dogs and places them with Coloradans at no cost to the handler. Your year-end gift helps the next dog take its first cue. Through Dec 1, every gift is doubled, up to $30,000.
Make Your Year-End Gift
Our goal is to raise $100,000 by December 31 so more dogs can start training. We will match every gift made by Dec 1, dollar for dollar, up to $30,000, so your gift funds twice the training.
Your donation is secure and encrypted.

This Is Your Cue. Bring It, And Give Today.
Every partnership starts side by side. Our mission is to train highly skilled service dogs that help Coloradans with disabilities live more independent lives and strengthen community ties.
TRAINING
CHANGES LIVES
Every dog learns dozens of cues: retrieve a dropped phone, push a door open, press an elevator button. Training starts at about eight weeks old and takes about two years.
PEOPLE
FIND INDEPENDENCE
A door opened, a dropped phone placed back in a hand, a day on your own terms. Our mobility service dogs partner with Coloradans who have conditions such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, and Parkinson’s disease.
COMMUNITIES
GROW STRONGER
Our facility dogs work with professionals in schools, counseling offices, hospitals and courthouses, and our community outreach touched 1,809 lives in 2025.
YOUR SUPPORT
MAKES IT POSSIBLE
In 2025, individual donors gave 48% of our revenue. Your gift is the first cue.

THE JOURNEY
From First Cue to Graduation Day
1
KINDERGARTEN
About 8 weeks to 8 months. A volunteer puppy raiser gives the pup a home, basic training and socialization, and the pup attends weekly puppy kindergarten.
2
INTERMEDIATE
About 8 to 14 months. Weekly classes build the cues and the focus a working dog needs.
3
ADVANCED
Dogs work one-on-one with our trainers three times a week on the skills a partner will rely on: retrieving, opening doors, pressing buttons.
4
GRADUATE
Partner and dog train together for about two weeks at our Aurora facility, then go home as a team.
REAL DOGS. REAL PEOPLE. REAL CHANGE.

FROM OUR CLIENTS
Make Friends with Our Clients
Supporting Canine Partners of the Rockies allows people with a handicap, like myself, to have a service dog in their life to help them with things that allow their lives to be lived much easier.
In 2024, just before turning 30, my life changed in ways I never could have imagined. I was diagnosed with a rare spinal cord tumor. After my first surgery, a hospital case manager introduced me to the possibility of a service dog. My experience with CaPR has been nothing short of incredible.
I probably wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for service dogs. He’s just brought meaning into my life and CaPR (Canine Partners of the Rockies) has given me a purpose. I love being an ambassador for CaPR.
These dogs provide more than just tasks. They changed my life significantly because… people avoid looking at you in a wheelchair. They wouldn’t even notice you. The dog brings the attention back to me. It’s like having a second chance.
