The goals of the Canines Helping Independent People, Inc, (CHIP) program are two-fold. One is to facilitate a committed relationship between dog and recipient that fosters increased independence for a disabled person. The other is to provide community education that allows for the disabled individual and dog to be fully accepted and integrated into society.
