Our Comfort Dogs
Through Cameron, we learned all about how unresolved trauma can affect a person and the importance of therapeutic options. In these very challenging times for our world and community, we felt service dogs could help us pay it forward. We have partnered up with the New Haven Police Department to offer comfort and a friendly face by highly trained dogs specializing in trauma.
