Why give?

  • Client Donnie

    “Palmer has made such a significant difference in my life. He's so in tune with my needs that he anticipates problems before they happen. I can't envision where I would be today without him.”

  • Client Hannah

    “Olive allows me to truly live my life, instead of being defined by my medical conditions. She has expanded my world, empowering me to explore it fearlessly. She's my steadfast companion, and I am eternally grateful to have her in my life."

  • Client Stacia

    We can travel on vacation as a family with Tulley because she provides a calming space for Lucas and consistency in an otherwise disruptive routine.”

  • Client Janine

    Heiser had a hugely calming effect on a client who has a history of PTSD and trauma who came to the office experiencing an acute mental health episode. He was instrumental in controlling the patient's acute anxiety and distress and even escorted her to the hospital with me.

  • Client Bruce

    Besides being an excellent friend and companion, Whitty’s main job is to assist me with picking up dropped items since I have an acquired spinal cord injury.  He can pick up such items as pencils, the mail if I drop it outside, my keys and wallet.  One of my biggest challenges that I used to have was closing the door to my house when I got ready to leave to go somewhere, but that’s not a problem anymore, because my right hand man’s got that too.”

  • Client Ashley

    "Having the second leash for Caroline. I felt comfortable enough taking Caroline to that Easter egg hunt with just her me and Baldwin. Before having Baldwin, I would never take Caroline anywhere with just myself. I was terrified Caroline would run off and I wouldn't be able to catch her. Not only do I not have to worry about Caroline running off, but Baldwin listens so well and stays wherever I cue her so I know I don't have to worry about her running off either. Just SO much less stress for us all.
