Service Dogs for First Responders
First Responders, which include firefighters, paramedics, EMS, law enforcement, dispatch centers, and search and rescue personnel, are the ones who step up to serve and protect our communities.
The nature of these roles can be physically, emotionally, and mentally demanding. First Responders often encounter extreme stress, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and depression. Unfortunately, the injuries they sustain are frequently overlooked, and finding suitable treatment options can be challenging.
The presence of a First Responder Service Dog provides emotional support to these individuals as they navigate their daily challenges, which are often intense. We train Service Dogs to assist with PTSD, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and mobility impairments related to the duties of Law Enforcement, First Responders (EMS, Fire), and qualified Federal Employees.
