With Veteran’s day coming up, we are PROUD to finally announce the launching of our new campaign for an incredible, life-changing organization: Stiggy’s Dogs Organization.

What does this great organization do and why?

Stiggy’s Dogs is a 501(c)(3) organization that rescues and trains shelter dogs to be psychiatric service dogs for military veterans living with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (“PTSD”) or Traumatic Brain Injury (“TBI”).  The psychiatric service dogs are trained and deployed at no cost to the veteran.

Stiggy’s Dogs all pass the Canine Good Citizen ® Certification test and then are paired with their handlers for further training.  Since each veteran has unique qualities and needs, each dog is individually trained to meet that veteran’s needs.  Stiggy’s Dogs offers the veteran and dog pairing a lifetime of support after deployment.

Studies have shown that 1 in 8 soldiers returning from Afghanistan and Iraq will have some symptoms of PTSD.  Feelings of anxiety, depression and detachment make returning to civilian life difficult for these veterans.  Those veterans living with TBI have their own unique needs.  Studies have also shown that 82% of patients with PTSD who were assigned a service dog had a decrease in symptoms.  This includes a decreased need for medication in 40% of the patients studied.

There are an estimated five million dogs sitting in shelters across America, many of whom will be euthanized.  Many of these dogs could make an excellent service dog for a veteran living with PTSD and/or TBI.

By uniting the two, we are Rescuing One to Rescue Another. 

So how can you help?
