Help Heal the wounded soldier whose damages are unseen thru therapeutic and meaningful work with animals. With peer support and interaction.
And most importantly, with the support of the community and civilians that partake and engage in our program. Our dogs are not service dogs or therapy dogs, they are shelter dogs that are like the Vets in so many ways. They are stygmatized, misunderstood - not so good thing have happened to them; yet you you could have no greater friend. To quote one of the combat Veterans in the program:
"I like working with these dogs because ther were throw aways just like me"

Over the weekend we received some very sad news. One of our therapy dogs Ruby passed away and crossed the rainbow bridge. Ruby was a great dog who joined our program in 2017. Ruby who was paired up with her owner Army veteran Mike Shanley received training and became a Therapy Dog very quickly. Over the past eight years Ruby put in a ton of Therapy Dog work around here in WNY. She brought comfort and peace to many and she will be dearly missed to say the least. Please keep Mike and his family in your thoughts as they deal with the loss of their baby.
