PLACING SERVICE DOGS WITH PTSD VETERANS

A no-kill facility, SCRC in Virginia, with the help of an 800 volunteer transport team, picks up Siamese cats throughout the eastern US and houses them in either a foster home or at the Rescue Center. Medical attention is provided including all vaccines, blood work and spay/neuter, and cats are then rehomed in carefully screened permanent situations

We seek to increase the supply and specialties of highly-trained Assistance Dogs available to meet the challenges, particularly medical challenges, encountered by individuals and our society as a whole. Our Service Dog program provides trained assistance dogs to individuals with mobility impairments for the purpose of increasing the recipients' independence. Our Medical Detection Dog program provides Diabetic Assistance Dogs to individuals with diabetes for the purpose of improving each individual's healthcare. Our programs are "open-source" and we are committed to freely sharing what we learn through our work. We do this because we believe that sharing ideas, techniques, and research will encourage innovation, growth and high standards in the Assistance Dog industry, ultimately benefiting both clients and their dogs far more than a narrower focus on our organization would.

Food Empowerment Project seeks to create a more just and sustainable world by recognizing the power of one’s food choices. We encourage healthy food choices that reflect a more compassionate society by spotlighting the abuse of animals on farms, the depletion of natural resources, unfair working conditions for produce workers, and the unavailability of healthy foods in low-income areas. By making informed choices, we can prevent injustices against animals, people, and the environment. We also work to discourage negligent corporations from pushing unhealthy foods into low-income areas and empower people to make healthier choices by growing their own fruits and vegetables. In all of our work, Food Empowerment Project seeks specifically to empower those with the fewest resources.

CCR is focused on rescuing homeless dogs & some special cats from high-kill shelters in Tennessee, placing them in loving foster homes until they help them find their perfect, forever family. They pride themselves on doing whatever is necessary, and it can often take several months to return an animal to good health.  They succeed only because of the generosity of loving volunteers who take these animals into their homes, who make them part of the family while providing care, training, and love. The foster environment allows the CCR animals to be assessed for behavioral and health issues and have those issues addressed. Then every attempt is made to find the best possible forever family for each animal.
