Our mission involves acquiring, training, and providing these dogs to children diagnosed with conditions like PTSD and severe depression due to abuse or trauma. By promoting awareness of child abuse's impact, we aim to foster openness, resilience, and healing. With the support of responsible breeders and local rescue groups, our program underscores empowerment, love, and breaking the silence around abuse survivors.
