    About our dogs

    A Canine Guardian Dog

     

    • In order to be a service dog with public access, the dog must receive specialized training and meet maximum  standards of behavior. Our service dogs are specially trained and fully socialized and capable of handling PTSD veterans' disabilities.   
    • But outside of training, these unique animals are still friendly and lovable. Our dogs offer support, love and unconditional understanding. They help establish schedules and routines through their feeding and walking requirements and they offer distraction through playtime. These animals serve as friends and confidants. They’re not just dogs; they’re part of a team.   
    • We believe our dogs are special and can truly help empower you to live a more healthy, more normal life.

      Why Donating is Good For You...

        

      Can a simple donation really make a difference in a person’s life! You bet! Ask any of our grateful service dog recipients (See Testimonials), they will tell you it has been a LIFE CHANGER!

      Here are 9 reasons why donating is good-

      1. Experience More Pleasure
      Donating money simply makes you feel better, which is something we can all benefit from.

      2. Help Others in Need
      When you donate your money, you help others who need it.

      3. Get a Tax Deduction
      If you give to an IRS-approved charity, you can write off donations on your tax return. Donating your cash is a great way to reduce the amount of money you send off to Uncle Sam, and for a good cause, to boot.

      4. Bring More Meaning to Your Life
      Any donation makes an impact! and can infuse your everyday life with more meaning. If you've been stuck in a rut, whether personally or professionally, sometimes the simple act of donating cash can do the trick and reinvigorate your life.

      5. Promote Generosity in Your Children
      When your kids see you donating money, they're much more likely to adopt a giving mindset as they grow up. 

      6. Motivate Friends and Family
      By giving, you can stroke passions in the folks around you, which is a very positive and tangible effect of your own giving.

      7. Realize that Every Little Bit Helps
      Dollars add up and they all make a difference!

      8. Improve Personal Money Management
      If you set a scheduled $100 donation each month , that can motivate you to be more attentive to your own finances. AND, see next section below to see if your company will match your donation!  

      9. Give, If You Can't Volunteer
      This might not necessarily be a positive effect of charitable giving, but if you're too busy to volunteer or can’t imagine being a puppy parent, then giving money is the perfect workaround. Writing out a check is a simple way to show you're willing to help others in any way you can.
