Canine Partners For Life (CPL) is a nonprofit organization located in Cochranville, Pennsylvania. CPL trains and places dogs to assist individuals with a wide range of physical and cognitive disabilities.

Gehrig’s disease), multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, arthritis, diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, paralysis, amputation, and more). CPL also places full-service seizure-alert dogs to detect and alert to upcoming seizure activity.

Skills may include how to retrieve items; operate light switches, elevator buttons, door openers; tug a laundry basket and put laundry in/out of the machine; roll someone over in bed to prevent sores; pay cashiers; open and close doors; assist with dressing and undressing; help an unsteady walker negotiate bumpy terrain or stairs; and a wide variety of other tasks. Just as important, the dogs provide a constant source of love and comfort. Please visit www.k94life.org or phone (610) 869-4902.

This month, we’re bringing back one of our favorite social media segments, Transformation Tuesday! We love sharing about our dogs’ progress, and this month we’re featuring 5 pups, starting with LC. LC has always been a very sweet girl with an eagerness to train, and a go-getter attitude! Even from a young age, LC knew that putting on her vest meant getting to work, and this girl still gets just as excited to get dressed and practice her skills. As a puppy, LC’s puppy raisers worked hard on teaching her that down time was an important part of being a service dog, and that it was part of her job to relax during meetings and phone calls. Now in advanced training, LC’s trainer has seen that she is able to settle for longer periods and is able to discern between when a skill is needed, and when it’s time to take a break for a meeting. We cannot wait to see what LC’s future holds!

Ed and Zern have been a team since 2018, and recently Ed shared, “My canine partner Zern has given me back my freedom which my epilepsy took from me. I was able to do what I wanted to again and go where I wanted to once, I was matched with my service dog. Many of the things I couldn’t do before being matched with my service dog, I could now do. I had new freedom that I was missing. Things as simple as going outside and taking a walk around the block were impossible before because of my epilepsy were now doable because of my service dog.”
