Canines 4 Capron
At Family4Eternity, we believe in the healing power of love, companionship, and the joy that animals can bring into our lives. That’s why we’ve launched Canines 4 Capron, a heartwarming initiative that brings fully registered service animals to nursing homes, seniors, the elderly, and families in need of a little extra cheer
What is Canines 4 Capron?
Canines 4 Capron is a new program designed to provide comfort and joy to our local community through visits from service animals. Our two incredible dogs, a Labrador Retriever and a German Shepherd, are fully trained and registered service animals whose presence has been proven to bring emotional and psychological benefits to those they visit.
How the Program Works:
Bringing Smiles to Seniors:
We visit nursing homes and care facilities, spreading happiness to seniors who may feel isolated or lonely.
Cheer for Families in Need:
Families going through difficult times can receive visits from our loving canines, bringing a ray of sunshine into their homes.
Emotional and Physical Support:
Service animals provide a calming, therapeutic presence, reducing stress, anxiety, and promoting emotional well-being.
Meeet Our Service Animals
The Labrador Retriever:
Known for their gentle nature and friendly demeanor, our Lab loves to spread joy and give comfort to everyone they meet.
The German Shepherd:
Smart, loyal, and full of affection, our German Shepherd is a natural caregiver, providing comfort and companionship wherever they go.
Why This Program Matters:
Bringing Joy to Those Who Need It Most:
The elderly, those in care homes, and families facing challenges can benefit from the warmth and connection these service animals provide.
Boosting Emotional Well-Being:
Scientific studies show that interactions with service animals can reduce feelings of loneliness, decrease anxiety, and improve mood.

Our goal is to strengthen the sense of community in Capron by delivering moments of joy and companionship.
