Canine Partners For Life (CPL) is a nonprofit organization located in Cochranville, Pennsylvania. CPL trains and places dogs to assist individuals with a wide range of physical and cognitive disabilities. CPL trains full-service dogs to provide physical assistance to their partner 24 hours a day, both at home and in public environments (for example, individuals with disabilities caused by ALS (Lou

Gehrig’s disease), multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, arthritis, diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, paralysis, amputation, and more). CPL also places full-service seizure-alert dogs to detect and alert to upcoming seizure activity. Finally, CPL places home-companion dogs with special-needs children or the elderly to work in the home environment. Each dog receives training adapted to meet the specific needs of its human partner. Skills may include how to retrieve items; operate light switches, elevator buttons, door openers; tug a laundry basket and put laundry in/out of the machine; roll someone over in bed to prevent sores; pay cashiers; open and close doors; assist with dressing and undressing; help an unsteady walker negotiate bumpy terrain or stairs; and a wide variety of other tasks. Just as important, the dogs provide a constant source of love and comfort. Please visit www.k94life.org or phone (610) 869-4902.

CPL’s Facility Companion Dog program places highly trained dogs with a facility that is in need of a little canine companionship – whether a nursing home, retirement community, school, children’s support center, first responders’ station, or another human services organization! These special dogs become valued members of the teams they serve, offering comfort, emotional support, and of course, plenty of happy tail wags. From helping ease anxiety and encouraging social interaction to providing a calming presence during difficult moments, Facility Companion Dogs have a remarkable ability to brighten days and foster meaningful connections. Through their unwavering companionship, they help create welcoming, supportive environments for the individuals, staff, and communities they serve.

Recently, our friends from the St. Patrick School in Malvern paid a visit to CPL as part of their Operation Kids Care project. Students from their 2nd grade classes had the opportunity to learn about CPL’s mission and how our dogs are trained to help their future partner. They got to see Adams and Chewie perform service skills, and even got to help out with go-pays! Thanks to the generosity of the students, CPL received a donation during their visit as well. We are so grateful for St. Patrick School’s continued support of CPL’s mission, and their dedication to educating their students about the benefit a service or companion dog can provide for someone!
