Mel, our Office Assistant Dog, was bred and started training to be a CPL (Canine Partners for Life www.k94life.org ) Service dog.
Unfortunately, he couldn't cut it and failed out. We adopted him to help out at the office. (lack of concentration is more the rule than the exception around here). It has been a work in progress. (per the pictures below).
CPL was founded in 1989 by Darlene Sullivan, a former special education instructor and animal trainer. Today, the facilities include an office building for a staff of 15 employees, state of the art kennel and training center. CPL has placed over 400 service dogs with individuals who have physical disabilities. The total cost to raise, train, place, and provide lifetime support for each CPL dog is estimated to be more than $26,000 per dog. No one is denied a canine partner because of their inability to pay these costs. CPL is funded entirely by donations by individuals, private foundations, corporate support - no government funding.

Mel says thanks.
