CWAC Adoption process From time to time, and for different reasons, CWAC has to release a dog from their program. When that happens, we carefully look to find the best home for the dog. A formal process of adoption takes place with adoption agreement documentation to sign, references, interview and so on. If you are interested in registering for the CWAC adoption waiting list, please download this document and send it to CWAC or contact us for more details. CWAC 1st Service Dog for Demonstrations: ClancyIn loving memory of a super dog that had a true impact in the startup of this organization Clancy, a beautiful Border Collie was already 10 years old when CWAC Founder, Miriam Mas decided to train him as a Service Dog for CWAC demonstrations. At an age when most Service Dog retire, Clancy showed nothing less than pure enthusiasm in the training. Clancy was often used as Canines with a Cause "demo" dog during the CWAC early presentations. However, soon after, his arthritis limited his abilities to perform. This did not stop his willingness to do some tasks specially when another other dog was being trained around him. In fact, because of his training, and ability to show the younger dogs what he already knew, he had a very positive impact in the continuation of the training of other dogs in the program.

Puppyraisers InformationCanines with a Cause does not have a breeding program at the moment but is open to receive puppies from similar organizations and reputable breeders after passing our puppy temperament test.
During the first year of a dog, the temperament gets displayed and they undergo a very significant physical development. This time is crucial in determining if the puppy has what it takes to become a Service Dog. Creating and encouraging the right habits for the future Service Dog is a very important task. The assistance of the Puppy Raising family and the focused energy in unleashing the dog's potential is a priceless job. We are looking for special people that would be interested in becoming Puppyraisers. We operate by obtaining a dog that would be suitable upon receiving a request. In the case that the dog found is a puppy, then we look for the assistance of a puppyraiser to care for the dog from approximately 8 weeks of age until the dog is ready to enter the advanced training program which is approximately when the dog turns 1 year old. Breeds CWAC typically use: Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Goldendoodles, Standard Poodles, Border Terriers. There are a number of requirements for those interested in becoming a puppyraiser. Please see the list:
