A longtime supporter of Canine Companions for Independence (CCI), where he adopted Anna after she was released 22 months into the 24 -
month service dog training program due to a slightly distracting interest in birds, Koontz has donated $ 9 million to the organization since the early 1990s; the organization's Southwest Regional Training Center is named in the Koontz family's honor and 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of Ask Anna will be donated to CCI.
We are very honored to be part of this and appreciate PetSmart Charities» support for
our service dog training program.
Once an eligible dog is rescued, Paw Prints in the Sand will provide medical care and sterilization as needed prior to a dog entering
a service dog training program.
These standards have been created in order for members of the community to better be able to choose or recommend both service dog trainers and
service dog training programs.
