Welcome to Canine Companions for Independence
Planned Giving

Thank you for your interest in Canine Companions for Independence. In August, CCI celebrated the graduation of its 3,000 team. 3,000 lives changed! On October 5, CCI officially opened our new campus at Medford, NY. Over 600 people including graduates, puppy raisers, breeder caretakers, supporters and elected officials enjoyed tours, demonstrations and making new friends. Many Heritage Society members attended. We hope you find these tools to be beneficial and that you consider becoming a member of the Heritage Society.
