  • Summary

  • In this episode of One Mo Moment, Mo Gerhardt interviews Adrena Spreacker from Canine Companions, a nonprofit organization that provides service dogs to people with disabilities. They discuss the mission of Canine Companions, the training process for the dogs, and the impact they have on their handlers. Adrena shares her personal journey with Canine Companions and the different types of service dogs they provide. They also discuss the difference between service dogs and emotional support animals. The conversation highlights the importance of honesty in the application process and the vital role of volunteers in the organization. The cost of training a service dog from birth to retirement is estimated to be around $50,000. Retirement for a service dog means they are no longer in active service but can still live with their recipient as a pet. Service dogs love their work and enjoy the opportunity to help their recipients. Donations can be made through their website or by contacting their regional office, and there are opportunities to donate supplies or volunteer at their facilities.
