Custom Canines Service Dog Academy in Madison, WI is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating and supporting lasting partnerships between highly skilled service dogs and individuals with disabilities and impairments who rely on companionship to enhance their quality of life.
Through its Heroes for Heroes program, Custom Canines pairs trained service dogs with veterans to aid them in their healing and wellness journey after serving our country. Upon returning home, many veterans experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other debilitating mental health diagnoses. Service dogs help individuals by providing stability and emotional support during stressful situations. Matches are selected based on the owner’s capabilities, lifestyle, mobility, personality, and psychological needs. For veterans who have a dog at home, owner training services are available to assist the dog in taking on a larger, more significant role in their owner’s life.
Through the Sonnentag Foundation, County Materials supports dozens of charitable organizations and causes in four key service areas: Hunger & Homelessness Support, Service Member & Veteran Support, Sexual Abuse and Domestic Assault Services, and Mentoring & Skills Building.
