Greg &
OSI-PTSD Service Dog Charley

“From day one, Reece & Shay have formed an incredible team. The changes in our daily life are nothing short of miraculous. Shay has brought Reece a newfound sense of independence, allowing him to practice important life skills like holding eye contact and following two-step directions while caring for Shay. Reece’s confidence has grown and our family has gained the security to take him out to try new experiences. Shay is not just a dog; he’s a lifeline, a companion, and a source of hope for Reece and our family.”

“Being a part of BC & Alberta Guide Dogs for so long has been such a pleasure. The four dogs I have received from them have truly changed my life. I want to take this time to thank all the donors, volunteers, trainers, and everyone involved. What they do makes a huge difference to those lucky enough to receive one of these amazing dogs. I am so grateful to everyone involved for the ability to have some independence, autonomy, and companionship.”
