Local business donates to life-changing service dog program for vets
For the men and women who have sacrificed for their country, the road to healing can be long and difficult. But for many, that journey becomes a little easier with four paws and a wagging tail.
L.E.B. Electric of Amityville recently became the latest business to support Canine Companions, a national nonprofit that provides expertly trained service dogs—free of charge—to people with disabilities, including military veterans.
The company donated two “To Go Canine Care Kits,” which are given to veterans receiving a service dog. Each kit contains essentials such as food and feeding supplies, grooming tools, bedding, toys, flea, tick and heartworm medications, and a certified service dog vest for public use—ensuring both dog and veteran can begin their partnership fully equipped.
For veterans learning to navigate civilian life again, or for children with disabilities discovering new ways to engage with the world, these dogs are more than helpers— they’re lifelines.
“This isn’t just about giving a dog,” said William Parker, president of L.E.B. Electric. “It’s about restoring freedom and dignity to people who have given so much. Canine Companions does extraordinary work by helping our nation’s heroes reclaim their independence and quality of life.”
Since 1975, Canine Companions has placed more than 7,700 service dogs with children, adults and veterans living with disabilities. With demand growing, the organization relies on the support of volunteers and donors to continue its mission.

Here are five key things to know about Canine Companions
1. Dogs with a purpose
Canine Companions trains Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers and Lab- Golden crosses to the highest standards as a founding member of Assistance Dogs International. These dogs don’t just sit and stay—they retrieve dropped items, open doors, assist with prosthetics and alert individuals with hearing loss to important sounds. But most importantly, they provide unconditional companionship and support.
2. Serving a broad community
These dogs are carefully matched with individuals across a wide spectrum of needs, including adults and children with physical or cognitive disabilities, veterans facing physical challenges or post-traumatic stress disorder, and professionals in healthcare, education, visitation and criminal justice settings.
3. The journey begins with a volunteer
At just 8 weeks old, each puppy begins life with a volunteer puppy raiser who provides socialization, basic training and love for approximately a year. It’s a crucial first step before entering formal service dog training. Anyone can apply to become a puppy raiser by calling 1-800-572-2275 or visiting shorturl.at/62gCC.
4. Every gift matters
Whether it’s a corporate sponsorship like L.E.B. Electric’s, a one-time donation, or participation in a fundraising event such as DogFest—set to take place on Long Island on Sept. 13—there are countless ways to support the mission. To give or learn more, visit canine.org/ donate.
5. A bold vision for the future
As it approaches its 50th anniversary in July, Canine Companions has set a powerful goal: to become the only service dog organization to provide expertly trained dogs, free of charge, to all qualified applicants by 2028.
For veterans learning to navigate civilian life again, or for children with disabilities discovering new ways to engage with the world, these dogs are more than helpers—they’re lifelines.
