Celebrating Our New Autism Service Dog Teams in Calgary!
We are thrilled to announce the graduation of two new Autism Service Dog teams in Calgary, Alberta! This special occasion marks our 69th and 70th graduate teams from BC & Alberta Guide Dogs and the 9th and 10th Autism Service Dog placed in the Calgary area, highlighting our unwavering commitment to supporting children and families affected by autism.
Autism Service Dogs play a vital role in enhancing the safety & security of children with autism. Their impact goes far beyond the children they assist, bringing positive change to entire families and communities.
The success of our Autism Service Dog program is a true testament to the collective efforts of our amazing community. From our dedicated volunteers and trainers to our generous sponsors and donors, each member of our community plays a crucial role in raising and training these exceptional dogs. The recent graduation of two new teams is a wonderful celebration of this community spirit and collaboration.
“Our Autism Service Dog program continues to make a profound impact on the lives of children with autism,” said William Thornton, CEO of BC & Alberta Guide Dogs. “These graduates represent hope, independence, and newfound opportunities for their families and communities. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has contributed to the success of this program.”
The two new graduates and their families have expressed heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved in making their Autism Service Dog dreams a reality. Their stories reflect the transformative power of these dogs and the significant difference they make in the lives of children with autism.
