Canine Companions for Independence
Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) is a non-profit organization with locations throughout the United States that trains assistance dogs and provides them to people with disabilities. Since the first placements in 1978, CCI has graduated over 2000 person/dog "teams", and adds to this number with about 150 new teams every year.
The organization is fully supported by private donations. Recipients of Canine Companion dogs are required to pay only a small registration fee of about $100, while the cost of raising and training a single dog is estimated at $10,000.
