We are in the
look out for the following types of puppies to be donated
to CWAC:
- Golden Retriever,
- Labrador Retriever
- Mix of Golden and Lab
- Mix of Golden and Standard
Poodle
- Mix of Lab and Standard Poodle
If you are interested in donating
a puppy to our program, please contant
us.
UPDATE: Canines with a Cause had invested in 2 Lab puppies
which were being trained by the organization AARK
(Adolescents at Risk and K-9's). However, unfortunately
we have been told by the senior trainer at AARK that these
puppies didn't make it into the program. Both pups, from
the same litter had issues (one with over submissive urination
in public and the other one with being too dominant)
