Happy Birthday Retired CHAMP Public Access Dog Rook Happy 10 th birthday to retired public access dog, Rook. In his active career, Rook passed the Assistance Dog International Public Access test and had full rights and privileges to be out in public under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Rook would accompany his client, Don, everywhere and was a constant source of support for the entire family. We wish Rook the happiest of birthdays and many more joyous years of healthy retirement!

Because of your generosity and support, we raised a total of $4,288 on Give STL Day! We are beyond grateful to everyone who donated, shared, encouraged and helped make this possible. Every contribution makes a difference, and this day total reflects the strength of our community when we come together for a common goal. And the excitement may not be over yet — there’s still a chance for additional prize money too! We'll know more about that soon... Thank you again for believing in our mission and supporting CHAMP.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing dog moms who make our mission possible! 💛 Today, we celebrate the individuals who pour love, patience, and care into every dog along their journey. Whether you’re waking up for early potty breaks, celebrating training milestones, or simply offering comfort and companionship, the impact of a dog mom reaches far beyond what can be seen. We also want to recognize our CHAMP breeding females, the foundation of future generations of service dogs. The heart, dedication, and careful stewardship of a breeding program brings extraordinary puppies into the world with the potential to change lives. Every service dog story begins with someone who believed in the next generation before they ever took their first steps. To every person nurturing, guiding, and loving these dogs along the way: thank you for helping create partnerships built on trust, independence, and hope. We have a group of individuals that currently help us and have previously helped us with our breeding program and we are so thankful to them. We couldn't do this without you. Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at CHAMP. 🐾 And a very special Happy Mother's day to Starla, Jade, Porsche, Lexus, Chaos and Kiss! You deserve all the treats.

A huge shout out to @zoetisbr for helping our organization with Simparica Trio for our pups. We can futher our mission and help others with the generous support of companies like this. Our pups are now protected on their journey to help others. ❤️

We still need your support to make our Give STL Day fund raising goal of $10,000! We’re in the final stretch of Give STL Day — and we still need your help! We are just $7,400 away from reaching our goal with only 2 Power Hours left today. If just 74 donors give $100 each, we can get there together! Every gift makes a difference for our clients. Give during these Power Hours to make your gift go even further through bonus funds: 3–4 PM 9–10 PM At CHAMP Assistance Dogs, we transform lives through the powerful bond between humans and dogs by placing highly trained service dogs with individuals and communities who need them most. Our therapy dog teams also bring comfort and hope to hospitals, courtrooms, schools, and beyond. For so many people, these dogs are more than companions — they are lifelines. And none of this would be possible without our incredible donors and volunteers. Your generosity doesn’t just support a program — it changes lives. Please join us this Give STL Day and help CHAMP continue providing these life-changing partnerships at no cost to those we serve by donating now at Give STL Day – CHAMP Assistance Dogs (giving remains open until 10am tomorrow, May 8).

Please support CHAMP on Give STL Day, May 7, and Make Your Impact Count From the very first moment, a service dog can change everything. A child gains confidence to navigate the world. A veteran finds renewed independence. An adult regains the ability to complete everyday tasks many of us take for granted. This Give STL Day, you have the chance to be part of these moments and help us reach our goal of raising $10,000. CHAMP Assistance Dogs transforms lives through the powerful bond between humans and dogs by placing highly trained service dogs with individuals and communities who need them most, and through therapy dog visits that create hope in places like hospitals, courtrooms, and schools. For many, these dogs are more than companions—they are lifelines. Our donors and volunteers make this possible. When you give during one of these Give STL Day Power Hours today, your donation goes even further thanks to thousands of dollars in bonus funds being distributed during specific times. 9–10 AM 12–1 PM 3–4 PM 9–10 PM Your generosity doesn't just support a program, it changes lives.
