A Service Dog for a 1 October Hero
We’re raising money to place a trained PTSD service dog with a first responder or veteran, ideally someone who was there on 1 October. Our puppy from Sunshine Doodles arrives this November, trains for four months with Norton Dog Training, and goes home around the 10th anniversary of 1 October. Your gift covers the dog, its PTSD service training and a starter kit of food, gear and care for the hero who receives it.
Finding the right hero
This dog is going to someone who was there on 1 October: a first responder who ran toward danger that night and is still carrying it. We’re working quietly with first responder wellness teams to find the right person, with care and with their permission. We’ll share the update here the moment we know.
