In addition to dog care, the canine center is also the home base of the veterinary, puppy development, breeding and maintenance departments, and the Leader Dog gift shop. Our host, Stephen Moran, Special Events Director for Leader Dogs, will give us an overview of Leader Dogs as well as a tour which details the processes and services this organization provides.
