Did you know?

Insurance does not cover assistance animals or animal therapy.

Yet, GCI gives every service dog away at absolutely no cost to someone in need. There is absolutely no charge to apply for or to receive a canine partner.

Service dogs increase independence, self-esteem, and social interactions.

Many service dogs have provided their owner the ability to attend school and gain employment.

Service dog ownership has been associated with improved health, fewer doctors visits, and better self-care.

Most people wait many years
to receive a service dog.

You can help GCI change a life today!

Georgia Canines for Independence is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.
