Happy Tails with Émeline for Dog Guides

Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides 2025/2026

Be the reason independence is restored and lives are transformed.

Dogs have changed my life.

Hi, I’m Émeline. I’m 13, and I’m autistic. I run Happy Tails with Émeline, where I walk and care for dogs in my community.

Dogs have helped me feel more confident, more calm, and more comfortable in my day-to-day life. From meeting therapy dogs at CHEO to spending time with the dogs I care for, I’ve seen how powerful that connection can be.

That’s why I’m taking part in the Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides on May 31.

Dog Guides help people feel safe, supported, and more independent every day. It costs about $35,000 to raise and train one Dog Guide, and the people who need them don’t pay for them.

Our goal is to raise $1,000 to help fund a future Dog Guide.

👉 Join us and walk on May 31
👉 Or make a donation to support this cause

We’ll also be at the Lions Club in Cumberland with a Happy Tails with Émeline booth. Come say hi.

You’re not just donating. You’re helping someone gain independence.

Thank you to our Sponsors
