Your Buddy is Waiting!

We’re so excited to invite you to Buddy Up 2026, our annual celebration in support of COPE Service Dogs.

This year, we’re bringing everyone together for a fun, interactive morning filled with dogs, creativity, and community — no traditional walk required.

Join us on Saturday, June 20 from 10:30 AM to 12 PM at St. Vincent Park to meet the dogs, get creative, and celebrate everything COPE makes possible.

But the most important part of Buddy Up starts right now…

Each of our 21 incredible COPE Service Dogs below has their own fundraising page — and they’re counting on you! Whether you raise $25 or $2,500 for your Buddy, every dollar helps provide life-changing support for someone living with a disability and students facing barriers.

Here’s how to get involved:

• Choose your favourite dog and start fundraising

• Make a donation to support their journey

• Share your page and rally your friends + family

Then join us on June 20 to celebrate together! 🎉

Pick a Dog. Start your impact. 🐾

Every dog has a purpose. Every dollar makes it possible. 💛

Behind every COPE Service Dog is years of training, care, and dedication — all leading to the moment they’re matched with someone whose life will be changed forever.

When you support Buddy Up, you’re helping create independence, confidence, and connection for individuals living with disabilities and students facing barriers.

Buddy Up wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of our community partners.

From all of us at COPE, thank you for being part of this journey!
