Canine Companions for Independence : ウィキペディア英語版 | Canine Companions for Independence Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) is a US-based 501(c)(3) (non-profit) organization that trains and provides assistance dogs.〔 As of May 2014, it had sponsored and trained about 4,400 dogs. == Foundations ==
CCI was founded in Santa Rosa, California in July 1975 by Bonnie Bergin as the first program of its kind. While teaching in Asia, she had seen burros being used by disabled people and thought that dogs could serve a similar role in the US. Since then, it has grown to a national organization with five regions. The organization pairs people with disabilities (other than blindness) with highly trained assistance dogs and ongoing support at no cost to the recipient. All expenses of the dogs (breeding, raising, and training), are paid for by private donations from separate foundations, corporations, or individuals, as well as fundraising projects. The Lions Club Project for Canine Companions for Independence (LPCCI), which was founded in 1983 as a significant provider of financial and volunteer support to CCI, has donated a total of $2 million.〔2006, Lions Project for Canine Companions for Independence, http://www.lpcci.com/〕 In 2015, CCI partnered with Henry Schein Aniimal Health, a provider of animal health products to veterinarians, which provides puppy raisers with free health care products. A special program, "Wounded Veterans Initiative," provides trained companion dogs for wounded war veterans.〔Joan Beder, (''Advances in Social Work Practice with the Military'' ) pg. 165. Routledge, 2012〕 The program receives funding from a partnership between PetSmart and CCI. In December 2014, the organization joined the United States Department of Veterans Affairs in a study to determine whether service dogs improve the quality of life for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder.
