The Canine Companion® is a fun and rewarding experience with a trained service dog for dog lovers who want the joy and fulfillment of having a dog without the long-term commitment of ownership.
Getting a dog is a big decision, especially in a place like New York City, where square footage and grass come at a premium! That’s why we created The Canine Companion program, allowing you to experience the joy of dog ownership in Manhattan without the stress, and with the support of an experienced team of dog care professionals. Our program orbits around four of our incredible service dogs, who can’t wait to share their love with you!
