Learn About Fostering a Pup: How to help prepare a dog to assist people with disabilities

Come and see the puppies!! Nothing brightens your day than puppies, and we will have plenty on hand to meet, greet and connect with during this special presentation.

ECAD (Educated Canines Assisting with Disabilities) is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to training and placing service dogs. ECAD has placed hundreds of service dogs with individuals all over the country, making a positive impact in many lives. Companion service dogs assist people with a variety of daily life challenges. Recipients of these amazing animals might be children with autism or veterans with PTSD for example.

Volunteer puppy fosters help raise and socialize future service dogs! Fosters provide love, care, and basic training to young puppies in their own homes for 6 months, preparing them for their life-changing roles. Join us to learn more about how you can get involved and help change lives—one puppy at a time!

I will be working directly with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) in preparation for a walk around the Town Green for those affected by suicide, and those who support them, to raise awareness and much-needed funds, strongly sending the message that suicide can be prevented, and that no one is alone. I am hopeful the Town will grant me permission SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2025 to have access to the Town Green in an effort to conduct our Out of the Darkness Community Walk to convey awareness, save lives and bring hope.
