Our Mission:
At the Canine Impact Foundation, we are dedicated to transforming the lives of survivors of abuse and trauma by providing them with trained emotional support, therapy, and companion dogs. By rescuing and rehabilitating shelter dogs—many of whom have also experienced abandonment or mistreatment—we create life-changing partnerships built on trust, healing, and unconditional love. Through advocacy, education, and direct assistance, we strive to break the cycle of abuse and empower survivors to reclaim their independence with the loyal support of a devoted canine companion.

What Do We Do?
At the Canine Impact Foundation, we’re dedicated to fostering healing and empowerment through the transformative bond between humans and dogs.
🐾 Service and Therapy Dog Training
Our mission is to train rescue dogs as service and therapy animals, offering survivors of abuse the support, companionship, and confidence they need to rediscover hope and purpose.
✨ Collaborative Healing
We take a unique approach by involving survivors in the training process, building trust and resilience through each step of the journey. This collaboration creates unbreakable bonds and helps survivors regain their sense of control and confidence.
💙 Supporting Children of Abuse
For children impacted by abuse, we offer meaningful interactions with specially trained dogs. These connections foster confidence, coping skills, and emotional healing in a safe, nurturing environment.
📚 Education and Advocacy
Beyond training, we’re committed to raising awareness in the community. Through education and advocacy, we create a network of support for survivors and promote the power of animal-assisted therapy.
🏠 A Vision for Safe Haven
We dream of establishing a dedicated safe haven—a shelter where abuse survivors and their canine companions can heal together. This unique space will provide access to animal-assisted therapy, resources, and a supportive community to help survivors rebuild their lives.
🌟 A Holistic Approach to Recovery
With a focus on restoring confidence, resilience, and hope, we create lasting change for both people and their canine partners. Together, we are changing lives—one step, one paw, and one heart at a time.
