Mission and programs · 2022

• Assistance Dog Training Services: During 2022 we received 388 application requests for assistance dogs from people with disabilities. The individuals are attempting to live their lives independently. Due to the lack of funding for training assistance dogs, some of these individuals apply to more than one program or some struggle to pay significant fees to other organizations in order to get an assistance dog sooner.Each application we receive for an assistance dog is reviewed for complete content and then all potential clients are interviewed. During this interview, the potential client learns what is involved with obtaining and working with their new partner and how much their life may change, both in the workplace and their home. This interview provides Can Do Canines with information on their environment, strengths, weaknesses, range of motion, lifestyle and expectations of the potential client. See the attachment to form 990 for more details.

  Expenses $2,449,335

• Puppy Raising and Dog Acquisition: The puppy program included 237 dogs this year. These pups were either donated to or bred by Can Do Canines and raised by inmates or volunteers. 47 dogs came into the kennels for final training. We had 434 volunteer Foster Homes and Puppy Raiser homes this year, with 130 being new in 2022. These volunteers are a very important part of our services. Puppies are placed with volunteer families at eight weeks of age for early socialization. This process is crucial for the puppy to reach its full potential as an adult. Puppy Raisers work with our Puppy Program staff and Trainers. They attend training classes and public access outings during the time they are raising their puppy. This program will continue to play an important role in our future success. We received 156 requests for information regarding volunteering to raise a Foster Puppy during 2022.See the attachment to form 990 for more details.

• Public Education and Community Outreach: Public relations efforts in 2022 resulted in 82 media placements locally and nationwide. In total, Can Can Do Canines received coverage from 30 print, 29 television, 8 radio sources, and 15 podcast/online-only postings. These included, but were not limited to, Twin Cities network TV stations, CCX Media, Rochester Post Bulletin, Rochester network TV stations, Duluth network TV stations, Eau Claire network TV stations, Toronto Star, Sun Post, and Mpls St. Paul Magazine. In 2022, Can Do Canines printed a total of 26,247 newsletters, Tails for You, in four separate editions averaging 6,561 newsletters per printing. The average cost (including postage and mailing costs) of each newsletter was 68 cents. The newsletters were distributed, both via mail and public appearances, to educate people on the importance of assistance dog teams. See the attachment to form 990 for more details.

As filed on the 2022 return.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
