Canines for Change is 19 years old! 🥳💜🐾

Nineteen years of changing lives, one canine team at a time. Canines for Change started in 2005 as a late-night conversation at a kitchen table between Dr. Nikki Brown, a school psychologist, and school food services manager, co-founder Gladys Cataline. They saw firsthand the positive impact dogs had on students and others, and were determined to make their ideas a reality.

Fast forward to today: Canines for Change has trained and certified dozens of service dog teams in the state of Michigan and all over the country as part of the Epilepsy Association's Oscar Project.

We've created a flourishing Facility Dog Program where we've trained and placed Facility Dogs in schools, emergency dispatch call centers, and a children's advocacy center, supporting thousands of students and school staff, first responders, and those who are most vulnerable and the heroes who support them. We've been able to partner with Priority Health to create the Priority Pups program, where we're honored to continue to work together to bring support to the communities who need us most.

We have brought support and comfort to local schools navigating grief and a university who has experienced unfathomable tragedy. We have and will continue to send our volunteer comfort teams wherever we are needed, fostering kindness and connection with every friendly tail wag.

We are about to break ground on our first ever facility, the Canines for Change Training and Enrichment Center. We are deeply honored and humbled by your support in getting us to this point, and we hope you will continue to show us your support and encouragement.

In honor of our 19th birthday, will you consider donating $19 to help us further our mission? It is only through the encouragement and contributions from wonderful humans, that we've been able to get this far. We're only able to continue moving forward with support from our amazing community. We appreciate you and value your part in our journey endlessly.

Today we celebrate. Today we remember how far we've come. Today we'll dream about how far we'll go. 💜🐾

2024 Solar Eclipse Pet Safety

Just a friendly reminder - during a solar eclipse, it's a good idea to keep your furry friends indoors. The sun's rays can be harmful to their eyes, and the sudden change in light might spook them. Many pets react to eclipses just like they do to fireworks or thunderstorms.

When a puppy is born, they are not ours. We have 8-12 weeks to get them ready for their families. We devote our time, energy, knowledge and our hearts to ensure they are the best they can be before they go home to their forever humans.

That they believe in their own abilities.
That they know the world is safe.
That they know dogs are friendly.
That they know people are kind.

Empowering puppies is what we do.

Why is it a great idea to add another puppy to your family?

#1. It alleviates loneliness and boredom. Two dogs will be happier together than they would be alone. It is great for their mental health!

#2. Two Dogs Get More Exercise
Having a canine companion is also great for your dogs’ physical health. Puppies love to play for hours at a time and can out play most humans. Since our two were able to play with each other, they got the exact amount of exercise they needed.

#3. The Emotional Bond: Connecting With Another Species
Much of the joy in having dogs is observing and enjoying your pets’ unique personalities and forming that special human/pet bond. There is something fantastically satisfying about forming an emotional bond with a creature of a different species soothes some deep feeling of human isolation from the natural world. This joy is more than doubled with two dogs. Our two dogs each have their own very different personality and it is great fun to not only form our own relationships with each dog but to watch their funny relationship with each other.

#4. Dogs Don’t Care About Equality
I recently learned that when you have multiple dogs, you should not attempt to treat them both equally. Because dogs are pack animals with a rigidly hierarchical mindset, they are happier when they know their place in the pecking order.

🐾Here is area where our human values go against the values of the canine species. As a parent, my mindset is to make sure I treat my children with equality. Dogs seem so well integrated into our human life and they are such individuals, it is hard to accept that dividing line between human and animal.

Ollie went to the library! 📚🐾

Did you know that our dogs can help improve literacy in children? Studies have shown reading out loud to a dog improves reading comprehension even more than reading to an adult. Dogs are able to provide a supportive environment for children, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in their reading without fear of judgement, all while spending some quality time with a furry friend. It’s a win-win! 🏅🎉

“Every Puppy needs a Baby”
🐾❤️🐾
Guardian home opportunity. This little one found her calling!

Before July 13, I affectionately would refer to “Harper” as high energy (even feral at times 🤣) She’s an expert at escaping from the puppy area but is very content in the crate as necessary.

My daughter Mikaella Gardner her family arrived with two granddaughters for 3 weeks. Harper hopped the gate and immediately laid next to baby Octavia (8 weeks old). She INSISTED. That was her place! Every chance she gets she will lay with Tavie!

If you have young children and are looking to add a small dog to your family, please contact me privately to see if Harper is a good fit for your family!
