COPE Remembers

Help us remember the dogs who gave so much.

We’ve created a tribute page to honour the dogs we have lost. If you fostered, trained, sat for, partnered with or simply loved one of them, we would be so grateful for a photo or a memory.

About COPE Service Dogs

COPE Service Dogs is a charitable organization that breeds, trains, and places service dogs with individuals with physical disabilities and care facilities. Through our innovative Canines in the Classroom program, at-risk high school students help train future service dogs—building confidence, improving mental health, and strengthening our community. After advanced training with our professional team, each dog is placed with a life-changing partner.

Based in Barrie, Ontario, we have been serving Simcoe County and beyond since 2000.

From youth to seniors, COPE Service Dogs is unleashing potential.
