Founded in 1989, Canine Support Team's Mission is to provide specially trained assistance/service dogs to people with disabilities to support their personal, social, and occupational independence. Our vision is to change the way the world thinks about disabilities, one dog at a time.

The NaturVet Foundation of Temecula donates $5,000
Temecula, CA June 23, 2011 – The NaturVet Foundation of Temecula, CA, today made a donation of $5,000 to Canine Support Teams of Menifee, CA, to assist their work in providing assistance dogs to people in greatest need, including our returning war veterans. The economy has slowed donations to this very worthy cause, and The NaturVet Foundation felt it was worthwhile to help them continue their very important programs.

Canine Support Teams also has an extremely successful “Prison Pup Program” that utilizes incarcerated women at California Institution for Women in Corona, CA, to do the advanced training on service dogs. The “Youth at Risk Shelter Dog Program” at Southwest Juvenile Hall in Murrieta, CA, rescues shelter dogs and places them in a twelve-week basic obedience course with the juveniles to make them more adoptable.

Canine Support Teams is a non-profit, volunteer organization, made possible by the many people who volunteer their time, energy, money and love for the purpose of enhancing the lives of those affected by disabilities.
CST service dogs are placed with people who use wheelchairs, walkers, crutches or canes. CST service dogs are taught to assist their partners by pulling manual wheelchairs, turning lights on and off, pushing elevator buttons, retrieving dropped or hard to reach items, making purchases or banking transactions, opening and closing doors and drawers, barking to get help and providing stability for walking. In addition, these dogs help to serve as an ice-breaker in public situations and provide constant companionship for their partners.
Assistance dogs work for individuals who can manage their dogs with help from another person, caregiver or attendant. Assistance dogs have all the skills associated with Service Dogs.
Social dogs are placed with individuals, in nursing homes or in group care facilities. Interaction with dogs have been proven to have a strong, positive psychological impact. All dogs accepted into the training program must pass rigorous health and temperament tests. These dogs are either part of the CST breeding program or are donated by private breeders.
Your ongoing support ensures CST's ability to provide service dogs and assistance dogs at no cost to our clients
