Our Mission
Healing Hounds provides playful interaction between certified therapy dogs and first responders for the purpose of reducing job related stress by capturing the health and wellness benefits of the human-animal bond.
How We Work
Therapy dogs have been proven to improve levels of stress and anxiety— two weights our first responders experience on a daily basis. Dedicating time to stressful situations regularly impacts mental and physical health significantly. Thus, we dedicate our time to you!
We schedule our dogs to come to your headquarters, districts or substations, or community meetings/events that you host or co-sponsor. Does that mean once a week? Every other week? Once a month? You decide, and if it’s too much or not enough, we will gladly adjust our services to meet your needs.
Our services have no cost for First Responder agencies.
