Mission
The mission of Canines With a Cause is to harness the untapped potential of shelter dogs to heal emotional and psychological wounds, provide unconditional love, support and companionship, and give a new leash on life to those in need through assistance, therapy or service dog work. Making a difference, one person and one dog at a time!
Program accomplishments
- Transforming two lives at once, Canines With a Cause (CWAC) pairs rescued dogs with veterans affected by PTSD (PTSD), TBI, and MST, offering complimentary, personalized training classes to form psychiatric service dog teams. To accomplish this, CWAC begins by identifying suitable canine candidates from local animal shelters and rescue organizations. We select dogs with the ideal temperament and traits, then adopt and place them in either our prison program, a foster home, or, in some cases, the veteran-in-waiting. This pre-training process prepares both the dog and the veteran for a successful partnership. CWAC also collaborated with the Walter Reed Military Hospital Soldier Rehabilitation Program and the Uniformed Services University's Wounded Warrior Service Dog Program, working to facilitate the provision of service dogs to military beneficiaries and veterans. This partnership aimed to share best practices in service dog training and education. Unfortunately, the program faced setbacks, including the suspension of the Utah prison program due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the termination of the Walter Reed program's funding in 2025 due to budget cuts. This has forced CWAC to focus on community-based initiatives, like the newly established Paw Squad foster program. This program brings rescued dogs into loving Utah homes, emphasizing teamwork - a concept familiar to military personnel. Much like our prison programs, this helps bridge the gap between adoption and placement, ensuring a smooth transition for canines awaiting pairing with veterans.Expenses $228,377 · grants $263,458
