Meet our Ambassador dogs

At ICAN, a remarkable group of dogs known as Ambassador Dogs helps share our life-changing mission with the community, inspiring connection, awareness, and support wherever they go.

These dogs began in ICAN’s service dog training program, learning vital skills to support individuals with disabilities. Though not placed with clients, each found a path aligned with their strengths—some became beloved pets due to medical needs, others joined ICAN’s breeding program, and many found roles that better suited their personalities.

Despite their unique paths, all Ambassador Dogs share exceptional temperaments and advanced skills. Paired with ICAN’s Community Engagement Team volunteers, these 20 teams educate the public on the life-changing impact of service dogs.

Through events and demos—like retrieving phones or picking up keys—they highlight how service dogs empower people with mobility challenges. Ongoing training and quarterly meetups keep teams sharp and connected.
