Courageous Companions has been a charity since 2016 with its sole mission to provide service dogs to veterans and first responders. These dogs minimize the individual’s functional limitations resulting from their injury. 

Courageous Companions is volunteer run and governed by a board of directors, most of whom have ties to the Canadian Armed Forces or First Responder field.

A service dog can cost anywhere from $20,000-$30,000 depending on the type of disability the person has and their location. Training can take up to one year and often travel is required for training and testing. Donations are critical to the placement of our service dog teams.

Courageous Companions prides itself on minimizing its administrative costs to ensure approximately 90% of all its funding goes towards placing dogs with handlers. I would like to personally thank all those who donate towards our organization.
