COVID-19 Stops Playtime for PSDs in Training

 

Training Center 1
I’m going to do what?!

As we all know, COVID-19 has drastically changed our lives and has also limited Healing Companions in providing psychiatric service dogs to help those with mental illness. Throughout the pandemic, being unable to use our traditional training area, we have worked to explore new tactics and strategies to provide these services; specifically finding a new way to train dogs outdoors in a safe environment.

I can do it mom!!

However, locating public access training is extremely difficult now and we would greatly appreciate help from our supporters!  We are in the midst of constructing a new training center to avoid future delays and cancellations. Donations now would help cover the cost of keeping our pups and their handlers learning and playing together.  Play is an integral part of keeping the dogs happy and building the bond between dog and handler.

Every amount helps no matter the size! Our goal is $7,000-10,000 to cover the training center and equipment.

Thank You!

This is a chance to support a great organization and help to save the lives of both shelter dogs and people. Donate NOW!

We hope everyone is safe and doing well and thank you for the support during this difficult time!
