C.O.P.E. Service Dogs

C.O.P.E. Service Dogs Canine Opportunity, People Empowerment This is the OFFICIAL page of COPE Service Dogs.

We are a registered charity that raise and train dogs to become partners for people with disabilities. Through our unique youth program, COPE engages students at high school. Each student is matched with a COPE puppy and taught how to train it more than 90 tasks, like: to open doors, turn on lights, retrieve out-of-reach objects. As part of the training, the youth take their COPE dogs to elementar

y schools to help struggling students with reading and math, and they make therapy visits, too. Volunteer Puppy Raiser families foster the dogs in their homes during their 2-year training period. At the end of the 2 years, a COPE dog is matched with a Life Partner to begin a career as a Service Dog.
