Our Canteen & Rehab Program supports first responders during extended incidents, training exercises, and community events by providing hydration, nutrition, and a place to rest and recover. This program helps ensure firefighters, law enforcement officers, and EMS personnel remain safe, effective, and cared for while operating in demanding conditions.

By supporting responder health and readiness on scene, we help crews sustain performance when it matters most.

Our Service Dog Program rescues dogs from shelters and provides professional training to prepare them as service dogs for first responders. Each dog is carefully selected, trained, and matched to support firefighters, law enforcement officers, and EMS professionals facing PTSD, trauma, or the long-term effects of service.

All dogs are placed free of charge, removing financial barriers and ensuring first responders receive the support they deserve—on and off the job.

We understand the sensitive nature of seeking support, and we are committed to protecting your privacy with professionalism and respect.
