THE PROGRAM ENCOURAGES GROWTH AND A HEALTHY MIND IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT AND SHOWS YOUNG AND OLD ALIKE THAT THERE IS HOPE AND FUN IN THE WORLD REGARDLESS OF THEIR DISABILITIES AND/OR OUTSIDE CHALLENGES. THROUGH EXERCISE, OUTDOOR ACTVITIES, AND ONE-ON-ONE ATTENTION FROM EXPERIENCED INDIVIDUALS, K9 CARE PROVIDES MENTAL STIMULATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO THOSE WHO NEED IT DURING A DIFFICULT LIFE TRANSITION OR SITUATION. K9 Care Montana Inc. (K9CMT) continues to provide service dogs at no cost to wounded veterans and families challenged by autism. It takes up to 2 1/2 years to complete the training process in order to meet service dog status. Until then the dogs are considered as SDIT's, Service Dogs in Training. Throughout this lengthy process we are implementing therapeutic outdoor activities, which are geared towards the recovery and rehabilitation of the individual. Back country adventures, fly fishing, Gemming, and visiting historic Montana towns such as Philipsburg are some of the outdoor activities we offer at K9CMT. During such activities we are able to observe the recipient so we can customize their SDIT to better meet their needs.As the good folks of Montana have become more aware of K9CMT, we have succeeded in extending our influence in what some see as the service dog industry. We do not think of it that way, For us, it is not an industry, it is a mission. In addition to 5 new service dog teams, below are some highlights of where we have placed our emphasis and energy.The efforts we began in 2013 have finally paid off. This year Governor Bullock signed in to law the Fake Service Dog Law (HB 439) which make it illegal to place a service dog vest on a pet in order to gain public access; our voice was heard and its value acknowledged.Contractors with Bozeman's Yellowstone International Airport have asked us to oversee Montana's first Airport Service Dog Relief Area construction. Another way we'll speak to the needs of the K9 and his team member.K9CMT partnerships continue to flourish and we have been recognized as an official dog food sponsor of Nulo Dog Food. The company will provide dog food to our new kennels in Livingston. On a similar note, Bridger Animal Nutrition in Bozeman has also been particularly generous with committing to provide a bag of dog food each month for the life of our service dogs deployed in the Gallatin and surrounding Valleys.Our mission mandates we take care of our canines. We have worked hard all summer to improve our new kennels. We added heat and hot water; improved feeding and drinking utensils; constructed security fencing for our kennels and exercise area just to name a few things. We have also deepened our relationships with six contract obedience trainers across the state. At the heart of what we do are the recipients, We are currently managing 68 active service dog teams. Those selected do not just get a dog, they get us as a life long commitment, we are there as needed.Five years ago, we provided one of our dogs to a retired U.S. Army Special Operator. Over the succeeding years we continued to work with the warrior and regrettably watched his steady physical decline. This year under our Aegis as a not for profit we were able to raise funds and garner subcontractor support to extensively retrofit his home so that he might retain his dignity and slow the slide in his quality og life. It's what we do. It's who we are. 170145 170145 DAVID RIGGS President 40.00 0 JUDY PENCE Vice President 8.00 0 MARY COWAN Director 2.00 0 EDWINA CROSS Secretary 2.00 0 ELIZABETH RIGGS PACE Treasurer 2.00 0 BETHANY MAJOR Director 2.00 0 MICHELLE CORBIN Director 2.00 0 JO ELLEN SMAHA ROBERTS Director 2.00 0 KENNY MASON Director 2.00 0 false false false false false false false false 0 0 false false DAVID RIGGS PO BOX 411 PHILIPSBURG MT 59858 4065602230 false false false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 69522 133524 128089 130879 145792 607806 0 0 69522 133524 128089 130879 145792 607806 187876 419930 0 0 0 607806 147863 0.69090 0.72930 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED WWSD Annual Bozeman Benefit 21351 21351 6817 2472 Big Horn Bar Fundraiser 8904 8904 500 1031 1 8848 8848 400 1242 39103 39103 6817 900 4745 12462 26641 Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $13169 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $3807 Other Expenses.1005 Travel $23411 Other Expenses.1009 Depreciation $5683 Other Expenses.1 DOG Boarding, FOOD & SUPPLIES $19530 Other Expenses.2 MISC.
