First Responder Therapy Dogs began in 2020 in San Rafael, CA. We lead the way in addressing mental health needs by providing emotional support to first responders with the use of therapy dogs. Research shows that therapy dog services positively impact this population's mental health issues.
Our heroes work 365 days a year 24 hours a day. These firefighters, paramedics, dispatchers, law enforcement officers, and search and rescue teams answer the call to help and protect. Being on the front lines is physically and mentally challenging, and these everyday heroes often feel under-supported, overwhelmed, and under-appreciated.
First Responder Therapy Dogs certifies teams (handler and dog) that go into the field to bring calm and smiles to the faces of on-duty first responders. Duties include: making scheduled visits to fire stations, police departments, dispatch 911 call centers; attending debriefing/defusing sessions following difficult service calls, and visiting basecamps at wildland fires.
First Responder Therapy Dogs is currently working with First Responders in Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas, and Washington.
First Responder Therapy Dogs is entirely dependent on your generosity to provide much needed emotional support to our courageous first responders. With your tax-deductible contribution, we will continue to be a powerful tool in helping first responders take to the frontline.
