We would also love shift workers as this event is going stright through the night as our drummer has to drum non-stop for 150+ hours. If you are interested in volunteering and making a difference in your community, please join. This event will bring awareness to autism in children and adults as well as awareness around the use of service dogs for autism. Please share.

ADC Hope is a young GSD and is learning how not to be a t-Rex. She is very bonded with her person and will do great things. All dogs go through stages that challenge our handlers and this sweet girl challenged her handler but this enabled us to teach the handler patience, normal stages in a dog’s development, and positive reinforcement strategies to train. Such a good listener and Hope is learning so fast. We can’t wait to see the great things she is going to do.

So attentive to their handlers for this picture. These two sweeties rocked their training today.

To help bring awareness for Autism and the K9s that can help people living with autism, we have a very exciting fundraiser coming from January 28-Feb 7. It's a Guiness World Record attempt at longest drumming from a single drummer. Non-stop drumming is not going to be easy and we NEED volunteer to join our volunteer committee. We will need people interested in taking on a 4 hour volunteer shift anywhere between Jan 28 and Feb 7. We have really great opportunities for shift workers too! The Brass Monkey in Ottawa has donated the venue and we are very grateful. Please leave us a message if you are interested in joining our volunteer committee. All hands on deck for Autism!
