Good Afternoon,
After researching threads, it seems like this topic hasn't been discussed since 2019. I am currently working on developing a Therapy Dog Program for my fire department. We are a large, metropolitan department outside of Atlanta. I have been looking into Grants and Assistance for the project to take to leadership for the first 2 years of the program. I haven't been able to find exactly what I am looking for but I would love for any suggestions. PetcoLove and Maddy's Fund advised that they do not fund this type of project. I have found some Grants and Programs that will donate the trained dog, but I need more of the handlers pay and development phase funding. Food, vet bills, personnel compensation ex. Thoughts?
