The My Canine Companion 2026 waiting list is opening!

Great News!

We are delighted to announce that we are opening our waiting list, in January 2026.

Just 12 months after our last list opening, we are ready to accept another 100 families on our autism service dog application process.

Due to excessive demand we will be again using a computer random number generator for this process. This will take place on Thursday January 15th, and the process will be overseen by an independent adjudicator. All applicants randomly selected will be contacted by email on this day.

The expression of interest form linked below must now be filled out by anyone interested in applying for our waiting list.
