Unleash Hope: Powering Our Mobile Mission for Hero Families!
At Tribute Comfort Dogs, we're redefining support for military, veteran, and first responder communities. We go beyond traditional therapy visits, leveraging the unique human-canine bond to meet evolving needs.
This North Texas Giving Day, we're supercharging our impact by continuing to fund Rover—our 35-foot motorcoach being transformed into a Mobile Canine-Assisted Crisis Response Unit—and rolling out our Canine-Assisted Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) program.
Our highly trained and certified teams operate in complex and often unpredictable environments that surround traumatic and crisis events. Rover offers our teams a safe and familiar environment. It allows us to be a self-sufficient unit rolling unit.
Your donation helps us complete Rover, an unparalleled resource for our hero families:
