September is National Service Dog Month, and at Ca September is National Service Dog Month, and at CalPERS, we recognize the vital role service dogs play in supporting the health and well-being of individuals, including many of our members. These incredible animals provide assistance, independence, and emotional support to those with disabilities, helping them lead fuller, healthier lives.
 
We’re proud to share the story of Rissa, who regularly visits our office under the guidance of our team member, Cathi. Rissa reminds us of the importance of accessibility and inclusion, values that are central to our mission of serving those who serve California.
 
If you or someone you know is considering a service dog, there are resources available to help you learn more about their benefits and how to access them. 

Visit Canine.org to explore how you can you get involved in helping train a future service dog, and how service dogs can make a difference in other people's lives.
