Service Dog & PTSD Therapy Puppy Program

🐾🇺🇸 Calling all heroes and supporters! 🇺🇸🐾

At Caddo K9 Academy, our mission is both simple and powerful: to provide service dogs and PTSD therapy puppies to disabled veterans and first responders in Texas, completely free of charge. 🎗️

Did you know that Texas is home to a staggering number of veterans, many of whom bear the scars of their service? With around 1.6 million veterans in the Lone Star State, it's shocking to realize that nearly a third of them suffer from service-related disabilities.

That's why we're committed to making a difference, one paw at a time. Our goal for 2024 is ambitious yet achievable: to place 2-4 service dogs with deserving heroes, offering them the companionship, assistance, and support they deserve.

But we can't do it alone. We need your help to continue this vital work. Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a tangible difference. Here's how your contribution can directly impact our cause:

💰 As little as $50 per month will provide food for a dog in training.

💰💰 Each service dog placed costs approximately $35,000, covering procurement, care, training, and ongoing support.

Here's a breakdown of where your donations go:

🔍 Procurement: Breed and evaluate new dogs for the training program.

🐾 General Care: Food, kennel care, and training supplies.

🏥 Veterinary Care: Medical screenings, medications, preventative medication, and general healthcare.

👩‍🏫 Service Dog Training: Staffer's training wages, dog and staff transport between program locations.

👨‍🎓 Veteran/Service Dog Training plus Equipment: Training, adaptive equipment, and support for disabled Veteran/Service dog teams.

🔍 Follow-up Support: In-home visits, customization training, public access testing, and annual recertification.

Your generosity ensures that our heroes receive the support they need and deserve. Together, let's make a profound impact on the lives of those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.
