Canine Companions
Southeast Region
Welcome to the Greater Atlanta Chapter of Canine Companions! As a part of the Southeast Region, our chapter plays a vital role in Georgia, advancing Canine Companions’ mission to provide expertly trained service dogs to children, adults, and veterans with disabilities free of charge.
Our chapter is made up of passionate volunteers, puppy raisers, graduates, and donors who are dedicated to making a difference. Through education, fundraising, and advocacy efforts, we work together to support the training and placement of service dogs that transform lives in Georgia and beyond.
We invite you to join our growing community. Together, we can change lives, one service dog at a time.
Looking for a way to give back? Volunteering with the Greater Atlanta Chapter of Canine Companions is a rewarding way to make a difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities. We offer a variety of opportunities for you to get involved in a meaningful way:
