Meet Toba Centre’s Helping Hounds, DWW Duke and DWW Booster.
Our favourite furry friends bring comfort to children and families attending our centre, reducing any stress or anxiety they may be experiencing. They can greet children and families, join in meetings, and be present with children and youth during their interviews.
Most of all, they are much beloved companions to staff and visitors alike!

Help support the Helping Hounds Program. Because of your giving, we are able to better support the children and families that come through our doors. We can’t do our work without your help!
I have found that when you are deeply troubled, there are things you get from the silent devoted companionship of a dog that you can get from no other source.

Dogs With Wings
DWW Duke and DWW Booster come from Dogs with Wings (DWW), an Alberta-based organization that has been changing lives for the better since 1996. Dogs in their program are only three days old when their special care and training begins. They are also accredited by the Assistance Dogs international program. That means DWW Duke and DWW Booster are trained to the highest possible standards.
Toba Centre is proud to be DWW’s first Manitoba partner, and we’re sure that we won’t be the last!
