Canine Companions for Independence at Baylor Scott & White Health - Kinkeade Campus

Canine Companions for Independence® at Baylor Scott & White Health-Kinkeade Campus in Irving trains three types of assistance animals--and will add a fourth type in 2019. These are:

Service Dogs that assist adults with physical disabilities by performing daily tasks
Skilled Companion Dogs that enhance independence for children and adults with physical, cognitive and developmental disabilities
Facility Dogs that work with a professional in a visitation, educational, criminal justice or healthcare setting
NEW FOR 2019: Service Dogs for Veterans with PTSD trained to create physica space in pubic for the handler, turn on lights, and interrupt flashbacks, anxiety episodes and nightmares, helping to mitigate the veterans' Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms

One of the best aspects of this program is that grateful recipients do not pay for their assistance animals. Donors make it possible for us to provide these life-changing animals to those who need them.

This facility will eventually train and pair 60 assistance dogs annually (we currently train 30 to 40—but we have an exciting growth plan. Please call John Drake at 972-579-4391 to learn how you can help!). The number of dogs produced at the Irving training center adds to the 300 animals produced by Canine Companions at its five other training centers nationally. The Irving campus represents the first time that Canine Companions has partnered with a health system to create assistance animals to help people live healthier, more independent lives. We are thrilled that Canine Companions and Baylor Scott & White Health are working together—and Baylor Scott & White Irving Foundation is proud to raise funds in support of this great program.
