PCC Downtown Campus Site of Handi-Dogs Information Session for Veterans with Disabilities

August 29, 2012

Tucson, AZ – Pima Community College’s Downtown Campus will be the site of an information session on Thursday, August 30 from 2-3 p.m. for veterans with disabilities to learn about Handi-Dogs.

Participants can get information on how to train a dog to become a service dog with public access rights, or a well-mannered emotional-support dog.

Training classes will be held at the Downtown Campus in September, with priority given to veterans with disabilities.

Since 1978, Handi-Dogs, a local non-profit, has helped people with hearing loss, mobility challenges, anxiety, depression, diabetes, traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder and other disabilities.

Nearly 1,400 veterans enroll at PCC each semester, and the school has been designated one of the country's “military friendly schools” by www.gijobs.com. In November 2011, PCC dedicated a new Veterans Center at its Downtown Campus, which is home to one of several thriving student veterans clubs.
