Lifeline Canines is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which relies on the support of individuals, businesses, community and civic groups for donations, sponsorships, fundraisers and grants. This generous support enables children and adults with disabilities to live more independent lives through partnerships with Assistance Dogs.

Many of our dogs want to be Service Dogs where they can help a child or adult with a physical disability to be more independent.

Since 1935, the mission of the North Carolina Division of Services for the Blind has been to enable people who are blind or visually impaired to reach their goals of independence and employment.
