WE STRIVE FOR INCREASED INDEPENDENCE FOR OUR CLIENTS AND BELIEVE STRONGLY IN THE HUMAN / CANINE BOND. WE ACQUIRE AND PLACE: AUTISM SERVICE DOGS, HEARING NOTIFICATION DOGS, MOBILITY ASSIST DOGS, AND PTSD/PSYCHIATRIC SERVICE DOGS (BOTH VETERAN AND CIVILIAN). DEAFINITELY DOGS ALSO PLACES PROFESSIONAL FACILITY DOGS TO WORK IN MENTAL HEALTH AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WHO WISH TO USE THE NON-JUDGEMENTAL LOVE OF A HIGHLY TRAINED DOG FOR ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPIES AND INTERVENTIONS. DURING FISCAL YEAR ENDING 12/31/2019, DEAFINITELY DOGS PLACED 5 SERVICE DOGS, 2 PROFESSIONAL FACILITY DOGS, 7 EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOGS AND CAREER CHANGED 4 DOGS. TAKING THE TIME TO ALLOW DOGS TO HAVE CHOICE IN BOTH THEIR CAREER PATH AND THE PERSON(S) THEY WORK WITH HAS PRODUCED THRIVING TEAMS. ONE EXAMPLE IS A VETERAN WHO WOKE UP EVERY DAY DISAPPOINTED, ANGRY AND STRESSED BECAUSE THEY "DID" WAKE UP. AFTER BEING PLACED WITH THEIR SERVICE DOG, THIS VETERAN IS NOW WAKING UP HAPPY AND LAUGHING EVERY MORNING BECAUSE THEY HAVE THEIR GOOFY, LOVABLE DOG RIGHT NEXT TO THEM IN THE MORNING. THE FLASHBACK NIGHTMARES HAVE STOPPED BECAUSE THEIR SERVICE DOG WAKES THEM UP, THEY ARE NO LONGER YELLING AT CO-WORKERS, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS ARE PARTICIPATING IN SOCIAL EVENTS AND OUTINGS. THE VETERAN TAKES AMAZING CARE OF THEIR SERVICE DOG BECAUSE THEY ARE BETTER TOGETHER BECAUSE OF EACH OTHER. APPLICATIONS AND INQUIRIES CONTINUE TO INCREASE OVER 300%. 0 23155 DURING FISCAL YEAR 12/31/2019, DEAFINITELY DOGS WAS ABLE TO LAUNCH OUR CAMPUS PUP PROGRAM.
