Incredible organization. I've gotten more and more involved over the years because this organization is doing such important, necessary work in our community. They see the interconnectedness of things and work with it (dogs, inmates, veterans, partners, volunteers, community). They understand that healing and integrating PTS is a deep process and support the journey. Such a beautiful example of what can be created and the positive difference it can make when we bring seemingly unrelated elements together to solve challenges and lift spirits.

Passionate and caring staff. CWAC does a good job of saving both human and canine lives. The interaction between trainers and the veterans with their dogs is very thoughtful and caring. It takes real time and patience to alleviate the affects of PTSD and the program does just that. The program provides many points of interaction, helping to bring veterans out of their shells and helps to combat self-isolation. The organization funnels a a large portion of their donations to the training programs, directly benefiting veterans.

Their commitment to rescuing shelter dogs and placing with veterans to combat PTSD, depression and other symptoms that call for a psychiatric service dog or a great companion is unfaltering. They are also deeply committed to the female inmate training program which continues to see results and offers the inmates vocational skills and a positive way of viewing life and it's challenges. No dog is left behind! Working closely with CWAC care is taken by the staff in the stewardship of the lives affected and the costs of the program.

My involvement with Canines with a Cause has been virtually since the beginning. The work and effort produced by this organization is so underrated they definitely deserve any accolades coming their way. The lives they save and impact from both a human and canine point of view are truly remarkable. Cathy King is amazing, as well as all the volunteers, board members and everyone who make the organization what it is.
