How your donation helps

Every dollar that is donated to First Responder Therapy Dogs goes directly to supporting more and more First Responders across the country.  


Specifically your donation 


  • Provides liability insurance for our teams to safely support the First Responder community.


  • Covers the cost of therapy dog visits to their local stations and / or department.


  • Purchases First Responder Therapy Dog vests that allow our teams to be publicly recognized and allow them to support others in a professional and appropriate way.


  • Supports deployment costs when it is required to support critical incident response and/or wildland fire basecamp visits.   


  • Allows our organization to spread our message across the country, share resources with those in need and expand to different states and areas.  Growth allows our services to reach more deserving First Responders throughout the country.


Consider setting up a recurring donation to provide ongoing support. Even smaller, regular contributions can have a significant impact over time.

It's estimated that 30% of First Responders develop behavioral health conditions, including depression and PTSD, compared to 20% in the general population. This Giving Tuesday, let's stand by those who stand for us.

A Call For Compassion

Behind the badge, there's a person who needs our support. With your help, we can provide therapy dogs to offer comfort and companionship. 

Voices of the Unseen

First responders are our everyday heroes, but who supports them?

Voices of the Unseen

Public safety telecommunicators face immense stress, with 17-24% showing symptoms of PTSD.


They are the unseen first responders. This Giving Tuesday, let's give them the support they need with our therapy dogs. 

A Lifeline for EMS

First responders are our everyday heroes, but who supports them?

Voices of the Unseen

EMS personnel are at a higher risk of suicide, with 6.6% reporting attempts compared to 0.5% in the general population.


Our therapy dogs offer a lifeline of love and support. This Giving Tuesday, your donation can make a life-saving difference.
