Changing Lives, One Community at a Time

Canine Support Teams (CST) is proud to introduce a powerful new initiative designed to bring mission-driven partners into one of the most meaningful service programs in the country.

 

Building on the momentum of CST’s partnership with the Boston Bruins, Chesapeake Petroleum and others, organizations now have the opportunity to play a direct role in transforming the lives of America’s wounded veterans through the sponsorship and placement of highly trained service dogs.

 

The Boston Bruins set the standard as CST’s inaugural professional sports partner—demonstrating how a respected organization can rally its community around a cause that delivers real, life-changing outcomes. Their leadership has sparked growing interest from corporate entities and individuals seeking to align their brand with a mission that delivers both measurable impact and powerful storytelling.

 

Through this initiative, partners can stand alongside CST and leading sports organizations to support veterans living with PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, mobility challenges, and the invisible wounds of service. Each partnership directly contributes to the training and placement of service dogs that restore independence, confidence, and hope to those who have sacrificed for our country.

 

More than a charitable initiative, this program creates an opportunity for companies and individuals to engage their audiences, activate meaningful community impact, and become part of a national movement dedicated to honoring and supporting our veterans.

The Boston Bruins Leading the Way

The Boston Bruins became the inaugural partner in 2025, inviting CST dog-in-training Bo and trainer Da’Von Patterson to a special meet-and-greet with organizational leadership at TD Garden.

 

The Bruins immediately demonstrated their commitment to the mission, embracing the impact of CST’s work and choosing to sponsor the placement of a service dog with a Boston-area veteran. Their enthusiasm and generosity have helped establish a model that other NHL teams can follow.

“It is an extraordinary honor to partner with Canine Support Teams and further our commitment to the New England community,” said Bob Sweeney, Executive Director of the Boston Bruins Foundation.

 

“We look forward to the day Bo is placed with a deserving veteran, and we’re confident he will provide the support, companionship, and stability that can truly change a life.”

I fell in love with Canine Support Teams the moment I received my adopted career change dog. I wanted to do more so I sponsored a future veteran service dog. I can't wait to help find a local Tryon, NC veteran to receive this animal.
