NEW HOPE, Minn. — Can Do Canines is inviting the public to get to know their organization in a special open house this weekend.
Jeff Johnson, the Executive Director of Can Do Canines, said potential volunteers, clients, or anyone interested in learning more about Can Do Canines can visit on Saturday to learn more about how an assistance dog changes the life of a person with a disability.
The open house includes a self-guided tour where guests can watch trainers at work, visit with dog host volunteers and staff members, and meet graduate teams for the five types trained at Can Do Canines, helping people with hearing, mobility, seizure, diabetes and childhood autism.
Can Do Canines also recently released a new television commercial to attract new volunteers. You can view the commercial here.
The open house is Saturday, March 9, from noon to 2 p.m. at the organization's location in New Hope. More information can be found at candocanines.org.
