AECOM partners with Canine Companions!
AECOM is excited to share our SBC booth in Phoenix with new friends from Canine Companions, a nonprofit that was founded in 1975 to provide service dogs to adults, children, and veterans living with disabilities, as well as facility dogs to professionals working in healthcare, criminal justice, and educational settings.
As an extension of their core mission, the organization also facilitates the Canine Companions Therapy Dog Certification Program. A therapy dog is a pet that accompanies their human companion into specific settings for the benefit of the residents or clients in that environment and/or as part of a therapeutic intervention.
Studies show that interacting with therapy dogs as part of an animal-based intervention approach yields physical and psychological benefits for both the human and the dog. We encourage you to experience these benefits for yourself! Stop by our booth to meet these cuddly new recruits and their humans.
To join us in supporting this amazing organization, visit AECOM booth 1249 or donate here.
