Welcome to the Cascade Chapter of
Canine Companions for Independence!

 

This site is intended to provide information to volunteers in the Cascade Chapter, friends of the Cascade Chapter, and people interested in volunteering or donating to CCI

 

 

 

Help Wanted!

 

Puppy raisers needed! CCI dogs are uniquely prepared for their lives of service by living their first 16 to 18 months with volunteer "puppy raisers." These committed, caring, unselfish people socialize the dogs, taking them into public: the grocery store, work, the movies, shopping, to school, on airplanes, etc. This socialization together with the loving care these special dogs receive enable them to go everywhere their persons go. Please contact Lorna if you are interested in becoming a puppy raiser. If you would like to talk to a local puppy raiser about what it is like to volunteer with CCI, please contact Sara or Donna F.

 

Petco Tree of Hope


We will be at the Division Street and Lake Oswego Petco stores on Saturdays between Thanksgiving and Christmas promoting the Tree of Hope fundraiser. Money raised will be donated to CCI. Stop by and see us between 12 and 2 pm. Interested in volunteering? Please see the volunteer schedule.
