It is a joy when a school welcomes our team in to help prepare for a new service dog team. 🐕‍🦺 🐾

Today Kristin had a great visit with the team at the Barrie School as they prepare for a service dog to start school with a student.

Great work today and on such a beautiful campus (bonus!)

"The donation comes from Abby’s Legacy of Love, in memory of Abigail Divoll from Royalston Ma. Abby was kind hearted and generous, making everyone feel loved and special. Her love made a genuine difference to everyone especially children in her life. She also had a big heart for all animals especially those of her own. Canines for Disabled Kids was a perfect fit as the 1st recipient of the proceeds raised from Abby’s Legacy of Love fundraiser."
- Abby's Legacy of Love

We don't always have the words to express how much support from our donors means to us and the kids we support.

It is with humble gratitude we say thank you to all who supported Abby's Legacy of Love. Together you raised over $20,500 in celebration of Abby's life.

Thank you for allowing us to celebrate Abby with you and for making so many scholarships possible! - CDK
