First Responder Therapy Dogs hasn't added a story.

Every year, thousands of fires occur on the west coast and the results have been catastrophic. For all of the brave firefighters working  those fires, being on the frontlines can be physically and mentally challenging, and these everyday heroes often feel under-supported, overwhelmed, and under-appreciated.

 

First Responder Therapy Dogs address the behavioral health needs by providing emotional support to these first responders with the use of therapy dogs. Research shows that therapy dog services positively impact this population's behavioral health issues.

 





The Use Of Therapy Dogs Has Proven To:


  • Reduce stress and anxiety.

  • Lower blood pressure and slow down breathing.

  • Improve overall mood elevation and mental state.

  • Increase productivity due to better mood and mental state.

 

Your Donation Will Help Facilitate The Following:


First-Responder Station Visits

Visits to fire stations, police stations, and dispatchers' call centers are scheduled in advance. During the one to two-hour visits, teams spend time with the personnel on shift.

Wildland Fire Base Camp Visits

We coordinate directly with Cal Fire to make scheduled appearances at base camps established for fighting wild land fires in California, Oregon and Colorado. The visits typically occur as the first responders are getting ready to go to the fire line.

Behavioral Health/Peer Support

Following a challenging call, a debriefing session typically occurs with the staff involved. A therapy dog joins to assist attendees in addressing their emotional responses to what they experienced during a high stress incident. 



Thank You For Your Support and Generosity!

Our donors can look forward to updates as we continue to raise funds and reach our milestone!
