  Support Corin and his future National Service Dog 

Corin is an energetic, intelligent, charming, witty and loving seven-year-old boy, who happens to be on the autism spectrum. He has a passion for technology and an unrelenting determination for programming video games.

While it often provides him with a unique perspective on the world, Corin’s autism leaves him with a host of challenges. He experiences tremendous anxiety in transitioning from the home, and from activity to activity. This makes everyday experiences such as school, family outings, or simple walks or bike rides through the neighborhood a major event. He is unable to complete simple tasks such as accompanying his parents to the grocery store, as the environment sends him into a sensory overload, which ultimately ends in a meltdown or running away into dangerous circumstances.

It is our hope that a service dog will provide Corin with the ability to perform everyday life tasks and give him the comfort to transition to different places without anxiety and fear. We are hopeful a service dog will also help him to regulate his sensory processing and provide him with an avenue to engage with his peers and make new friends – something he very desperately wants to do!

Thank you in advance for supporting Corin and providing him with the opportunity to experience the little things in the world around him!
