alert dogSix-year old Corin Standings of North Bay is in need of a diabetic alert dog. Wendy Carrothers is the head of the local group Snow Angels and she says a diabetic alert dog can help Corin when it comes to his blood sugar levels. She says a diabetic alert dog can smell when a person’s sugar level drops and can alert someone if they are having a diabetic reaction.

Carrothers says they were going door to door at Halloween looking for small change to help raise funds. She adds they will be doing different fundraising initiatives throughout the holiday season – and they are still putting those details together.

Carrothers says Corin’s mother has been able to find a diabetic alert dog to purchase for $7,500.
