16,000 service dogs from accredited training programs exist nationwide and the need is growing;
and
WHEREAS, Canine Companions is a nonprofit organization that enhances the lives of people
with disabilities by providing expertly-trained service dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality
partnerships; and
WHEREAS, Canine Companions and their service dogs empower people with disabilities to
lead life with greater independence, by providing best-in-class training, ongoing follow up
services and a deeply committed community of support; and
WHEREAS, National Service Dog Month aims to educate our community about the benefits of
service dogs and the laws protecting them; and
WHEREAS, The City of West Chicago continues to work toward becoming an inclusive
community in which all citizens, and their service dogs, are embraced.
NOW, THEREFORE, in recognition of service dogs and the adults and children with
disabilities in our community, I, Ruben Pineda, Mayor of the City of West Chicago, do hereby
proclaim September to be
NATIONAL SERVICE DOG MONTH
I encourage all citizens to celebrate task trained service dogs and be respectful of the rights
