Our mission is to provide specially trained dogs to persons with disabilities to support their personal, social, and occupational independence.
Empowering Veterans Together
A Boston Bruins Foundation Partnership
Heroes deserve champions. Thanks to the Boston Bruins Foundation, more veterans will receive the life-changing support of a service dog through Canine Support Teams. This partnership combines CST’s decades of expertise in training service dogs with the Foundation’s dedication to giving back to communities to empower more veterans with the independence, confidence, and stability that a service dog brings. From mitigating PTSD symptoms to enhancing mobility and daily living, these dogs become true partners in healing and hope.
Changing lives for the better
Since 1989, Canine Support Teams has been providing specially trained service dogs to veterans and persons with disabilities. Each life-changing match is made possible by generous volunteers and donors.
Raising the next generation of helpers
“Puppy raising allowed my family and me to share our hearts and home with Monti, with a feeling of pride and fulfillment knowing we were training him for a bigger job.”
