“CCI SALUTES INDEPENDENCE” TO HONOR MILITARY Canine Companions for Independence Holds Open House for Service Members OCEANSIDE, CA Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) will hold an open-house festival at its Oceanside Campus at 124 Rancho del Oro Drive for military veterans, active-duty service members, their families and friends on Saturday, August 9, 2008 from 10:00AM until 2:00PM. Canine Companions for Independence is a national nonprofit organization that enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing highly trained assistance dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality partnerships. The event, “CCI Salutes Independence,” coincides with CCI’s Veterans Initiative, a targeted campaign by the organization to increase placements of assistance dogs with disabled veterans who have served in Iraq and/or Afghanistan. This community celebration honoring the U.S. Armed Forces is open to the public and admission is free! “CCI Salutes Independence” will feature campus tours, games and prizes, face painting, live entertainment, and all-American refreshments! There will be many opportunities to meet working CCI assistance dogs and puppies-in-program. CCI Instructors will provide training demonstrations, human-canine teams will explain how they work together, there will be a puppy petting station, and guests can have their pictures taken with CCI’s exceptional dogs! “We are excited for this unique opportunity to ‘salute’ our military neighbors,” explains Linda Valliant, CCI Southwest Executive Director. “We also look forward to increasing the number of disabled veterans we serve.” CCI serves clients with a wide range of physical disabilities including spinal cord injury, brain trauma, hearing impairment, and limb amputation. “Soldiers are coming home with the types of disabilities many of our clients have. CCI assistance dogs can help – not only with everyday physical tasks, but also with the difficult adjustment to living with a disability and transitioning to civilian life,” Valliant explains. CCI Service Dogs are trained to respond to approximately 50 commands, including opening doors, turning lights on and off, and retrieving dropped items. CCI Hearing Dogs alert people to important sounds like knocks on the door and smoke alarms. There is no charge for a CCI assistance dog, its training, or ongoing follow-up services.
