The Healing Hounds Mission

To provide 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.

We partner with first responder agencies and counseling services to help reduce the stress, anxiety, fatigue, and emotional unrest that first responders experience as part of their job. Our specially-trained dogs are loving and affectionate and offer first responders an opportunity to connect in a healthy and safe way.

READY FOR ROLL CALL!

You’ll see us visiting fire houses, police stations, dispatch centers, First Responder community events, and counseling facilities! You might even find the dogs ready for Roll Call!

Testimonials

"I appreciate the mission you and your team have taken on. As a small county with relatively few LEO’s sercing such a big area, we often have a single deputy dealing with multiple tragedies in a very short time span and I have seen the toll it takes on them first-hand.
You are a blessing to us."
