Paws with a purpose, hearts with a mission.
Our Mission
Campus K9s, Inc., is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the well-being of students and staff by providing well-trained Social Emotional Learning Dogs to school districts, academies, and universities.
An SEL dog is a special type of service dog bred and trained to provide calm, comfort, and connection in schools.
Our SEL dogs help students of all ages – from early childhood programs through college. They provide comfort in times of heightened anxiety and offer support where needed throughout the school.
