Canine Partners of the Rockies (CaPR) is a 501(c)(3) organization accredited by Assistance Dogs International. Their mission is to enhance the independence and lives of Coloradans with disabilities by training and pairing them with skilled service dogs. The dogs help with a variety of tasks such as opening doors, picking up items, and more.
CaPR raises, trains, and places service dogs, ensuring ongoing support for the partnerships they create. They match the right dog with the right person for a successful lifelong partnership. To ensure that both the human and canine partners have a happy, fulfilling experience throughout their partnership, Canine Partners stays in touch to provide hands-on support, encouragement, and ongoing training as needed. By focusing exclusively on Colorado, they are able to be consistently present for their partnerships.
Focusing on the human-canine bond, CaPR provides continuous support for their dog-human partnerships. CaPR has a successful track record of life-changing outcomes for people with disabilities. They approach their work with the understanding that every person has unique needs and every dog has its own distinctive temperament, approach, and special skills. Their experience has demonstrated that the key to a successful lifetime partnership is pairing the right dog with the right person. They are committed to this principle and will not place a dog unless they are convinced it is the right match. This may mean a longer wait to receive a dog, but it ensures that once paired, there is peace of mind knowing that the match is perfect.
