Can Do Canines is celebrating a new future and 22 years of service to the community with the Fetching Ball gala and Calendar Dogs Fashion Walk! The event’s mission is to not only present a heart-warming overview of the life-changing effects of assistance dogs on the lives of the people we serve, but to share our enthusiasm for the future. The event will also raise funds vital to our success by providing assistance dogs for 40 new clients in 2011.

The Fetching Ball will bring together more than 400 guests, many dogs including, graduate assistance dogs, assistance dogs in training, and a few adorable “puppies in training”, to accentuate the human-animal bond while having a fetching good time! Please join our board of directors, clients, graduates, community leaders, volunteers and friends for an evening of fun, fashion, dog kisses, wagging tails and unconditional love!
