Margie Cantwell is the Founder of Service Dogs for Self-Reliance. After serving six years as a volunteer in the service dog industry, she was inspired by the impact these incredible partnerships had on people's lives (including her own). Recognizing the need for these programs, she set out to learn more by attending the Assistance Dog Institute in Santa Rosa, California, where she earned an Associate of Science Degree in Assistance Dog Education.
