ABOUT

The Bay State Chapter encompasses puppy raisers, graduates and volunteers in the Massachusetts and New England area.

If you’re looking for deeper engagement as a Canine Companions volunteer, we encourage you to get involved with our chapter. The Bay State Chapter is an extension of the Northeast Regional Training Center. We work to raise awareness, recruit new puppy raisers and volunteers and support one another’s work on behalf of the Canine Companions’ mission.
