WHO WE HELP.
we help individuals who understand the vital role a psychiatric service dog will play in their lives, yet know it is one piece of a multifaceted healing process and recognize the responsibilities that come with it.
and we’re here for you every step of the way.
we focus on residents of Napa Valley, California and military veterans residing within the San Francisco Bay Area.

service dogs are invaluable.
psychiatric service dogs are invaluable for the day-to-day functioning of their human.
these task-trained dogs allow their person to do the everyday things that those of us who don’t suffer from a mental health illness take for granted.
psychiatric service dogs perform specific tasks for one individual (their handler)—and these tasks vary from person to person based on each one’s needs.
for instance, psychiatric service dogs reduce stress and anxiety by applying pressure therapy or interrupting behaviors—leading to fewer flashbacks and nightmares while improving an individual’s ability to think rationally and respond to stressful situations without losing control.

in addition to learning impressive real-world skills, our Psychiatric Service Dogs are trained to perform specific tasks for their person to help mitigate the symptoms of anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder.
“i'd like to be remembered as a guy who tried — tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being.”
