Help Katie raise money

The Dogs for Better Lives’ organization professionally trains dogs to help people and enhance lives. They maintain a lifelong commitment to all dogs they rescue or breed and the people they serve.

Certified professional staff train and place Service Dogs free of charge with deaf or hard-of-hearing adults, children diagnosed with autism, and licensed professionals working with vulnerable communities. This allows people with disabilities to lead safer and more independent lives.

Dog ownership is a huge part of mine and my husband's life. We can't imagine our days without them. The companionship and unconditional love that comes with raising a dog is something we truly cherish.

 Early on in my career I was fortunate enough to teach in a learning center for children with autism. Having the opportunity to impact the lives of children with unique learning requirements was a very rewarding experience. 

I was thrilled when I learned of the Dogs for Better Lives organization. 

Supporting this cause truly encompassed values that hit close to home; serving our communities, and recognizing the value and impact dogs can have on our lives.
