Green Brook, NJ: When asked why he decided to get involved with DogFest New Jersey, Mike Saverino of Green Brook said, “It just made sense to see what I could do.” Having received his Assistance dog Webster, free of charge, Mike is well-aware of Canine Companions’ fundraising needs, and was one of the first to sign up and create a fundraising team.
With a goal of $1,200, Mike is reaching out to friends and family to ask them to support the organization that partnered him with Webster. From helping him open and close doors and pick up dropped items, the lab/golden retriever cross is enhancing every aspect of his active life.
