Canines for Service
Jen was born and raised in Westchester County, NY and has lived
in North Carolina since 1999. She is a communications, marketing, fund-
raising professional with over twenty years experience in brand manage-
ment, media, PR, event planning, project management, and fundraising.
She is a proud fireman's daughter, sister, and aunt and have been married
to a native North Carolinian for 20 years. We have three daughters.
The Program Director for training, David McConnell, who has been
with the program since 2018 and a current student, “Tabatha” are with
her.
Originally they used mainly shelter dogs. With the onset of COVID and
people staying home many thought it would be a good time to get a dog. Shelter dogs were almost
non-existent. While they continue to take shelter dogs they now also take dogs who come from
breeders that specialize in providing dogs to be working dogs.
Canines for Service has been solely serving veterans since 2018. They serve those who were in
any of the conflicts and many physical or emotional difficulties. There are some “career change” dogs
who don’t work out for veterans but go with police and sheriff depart-
ments to be support for children they encounter and for the officers who
need comfort. The VA recognizes mobility service dogs as a medical device
and will cover expenses for those dogs. They do not offer any compensa-
tion for PTSD. The PAWS Act was passed in August but it is stalled at the
VA level. NC Senator Tillis is working with the group to give it a nudge.
They expect 20 new puppies this year. In March there will be an auction
style naming on their Facebook page.

what they do and some of the veterans they have served. They are always
looking for foster families for the dogs.
