In line with our continued Made for Life philosophy, Canon Medical extends our support to other areas beyond medical imaging, with the aim to build stronger and more successful communities. Our support to Assistance Dogs Australia (ADA) is one of these initiatives.
Up to date, Canon Medical has sponsored 4 assistance dogs. Three of them have successfully graduated and are now living with the families that need help. Faith, the fourth dog we sponsor, is now busy with her training to become a qualified assistance dog.

Where’s Xena now?
Xena was the second puppy we adopted. This golden Labrador has completed her Advanced Training course and graduated in October 2019. With a shy and gentle personality, our superhero Xena has become a good friend of a young boy in Victoria living with autism...
Where’s Shiba now?
Our super skilled dog Shiba was the first puppy we adopted in 2015. She came from a strong heritage - both her parents were Assistance Dogs. She completed her training with flying colours and graduated in October 2017. Shiba is considered a pioneer in this particular pairing. She now has a home with a young woman on the Northern Beaches of Sydney and together, they are flourishing.

Assistance Dogs Australia
Assistance Dogs Australia provides freedom and independence to children and adults with disabilities. They train Labradors and Golden Retrievers to offer physical and emotional support to assist people with:
- Physical disabilities
- Autism
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Dementia
