Why It's SO vital

Why It's SO vital

Our goal is to provide this free service to as many first responders across the country as possible.

Why It's SO vital

Why It's SO vital

Why It's SO vital

Being on the front lines is physically and mentally challenging for first responders. These everyday heroes often face mental health challenges.


Within this population, there is a stigma attached to asking for help. First Responder Therapy Dogs formed to offer a new mental health tool – emotional support from a trained therapy dog—without the stigma.


The emotional support of a First Responder Therapy Dog helps first responders in dealing with what they face everyday...and what they face is often extremely intense.
