We are an organization focused on training, raising, and educating about assistance dogs and their impact on an individual's life and community. TUSTEP allows students the opportunity to raise and train service dogs in conjunction with being full-time students, creating the opportunity for experimental growth for both the raiser and the dog. We use our platform to connect with our Tulane community through events, meetings, puppy sitting, and leadership positions. Working with Canine Companions (CC), we strive to promote the importance of service dogs and education on their influence. 

 

Canine Companions is a national organization based in Santa Rosa, CA, which places service dogs in various careers differing from facility work to service dogs with faciltators.
