M. & Apollo
Impact
“Prior to trauma, I was able to experience normal, happy activities that many take for granted. I am excited that I have been selected by Hero Family Outreach for their Paws 4PTSD program. My hope is that with the help of my service dog, I will be able to live life like it’s meant to be lived.”
Teddy & Cleo
Impact
"Two years ago I wouldn't set foot near a pool, go to crowded places, really anything in public without being spun up. Cleo has opened doors for me and allows me to remain present in situations that I would flat-out refuse to attend.
My relationship with Robyn has become stronger and my ability to be there for my family is making up for the years I lost due to PTSD."
Shane & Lucas
Impact
"Today was a big step for me going to a museum by myself. Something I would never have considered 6 months ago, but Lucas made it possible. He did very well and kept my mind more on him than the people around me. It was a good 1st big step."
Nine months ago today our lives changed in a way that we never expected. After receiving Lucas, our entire family noticed the old Shane starting to come back. - Monya (Shane's wife)
"I did a 5K with Lucas. Something I never would have done a year ago. I could have never imagined the feeling and love I have for Lucas. That pretty much sums up what Lucas was meant to do."
Brandon & Percy
Impact
"For 8 years, I was a recluse. I was a scared, fearful man and, when I wasn't, I was on too many medications to be able to drive a car or go out on my own. Percy has been the answer to so many prayers. I feel like a functional and valuable man again."
Zack & Winter
Impact
"Becoming Winter's handler gave me purpose. I was caring for a dog just as he was caring for me. I felt more comfortable going out in public and became more relaxed at home. I was able to take my wife out in public and became more relaxed at home. I was able to take my wife out for dates again. Winter helped me get my life back. I still struggle with some things, but Winter is there for me."
