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. e.g. Back country adventures, fly fishing, Gemming, and visiting historic Montana towns such as Philipsburg. During such activities we are able to observe the recipient so we can customize their SDIT to better meet their needs.K9CMT is in its 8th year, we continue to strive for excellence and have successfully placed service dogs in and out of the state of Montana. It takes a lot of hard work, a few tears and a whole bunch of laughter. We served over 12 families in 2014 and with continued support we increased that number to 15 families in 2015. When 2016 drew to a close we were working with 41 families!!! K9CMT received a fair amount of attention in 2016The October-December issue of Montana Magazine ran a feature entitled Warriors and the Dogman.KBZK-Bozeman and KPAX-Missoula aired a segment called The Benefits of Service Dogs.We received the 2016 Great Nonprofit Award - that makes it three years running now.This recognition is important because it increases awareness of the value of service dogs in general and K9CMT in particular. That awareness builds appreciation and leads to the financial support we depend on to provide these magnificent dogs at no cost to their recipients.As we gain standing in the community, we also have created a nine-minute video that includes testimony from wounded warrior recipients and well be showing it at gatherings around Big Sky country. Montana is definitely our center of gravity and we have dogs teamed with veterans in Billings, Bozeman, Butte, Great Falls, Marion, Missoula and Valier.Montanans truly care about our veterans and the number of like- minded organizations in the state is impressive. We cooperated with outfits such as Montana Wounded Warrior (no relationship to WWP), Operation Never Forgotten, Montana Veterans, Montana Waters, Joint Community Forces and others geared towards recovery and rehabilitation. 2017 was another year of increase in recipients, just shy of serving 50 recipients. We were recognized in the community for our good works by several Montana news stations. We also received accolades by a hand written letter from MT Gov. Bullock for the programs offered to wounded veterans and children facing autism. We look forward to 2018 as we plan on a major expansion of our programs and services. One of the several expansions includes but is not limited to extending our programs and services to First Responders, EMT's, and (Retired) Law Enforcement. Along with the Las Vegas shooting victims, we are also including victims of any of the school shootings that have plagued this country over the years. We have definitive plans to move to a better location so we can better serve our clientele. We also look forward to further building our relationships with like-minded Montana resources geared towards making the lives better for people with disabilities. 157864 157864 DAVID RIGGS President 40.00 32000 JUDY PENCE Vice President 2.00 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 64564 69522 133524 128089 130879 526578 0 0 64564 69522 133524 128089 130879 526578 142526 384052 0 0 0 526578 107190 0.72930 0.76280 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Froggies Annual WWSD Benefit 22907 22907 2535 WWSD Annual Bozeman Benefit 18506 18506 9924 2547 1 6500 6500 719 47913 47913 9924 5801 15725 32188 Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $8683 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $5940 Other Expenses.1005 Travel $15827 Other Expenses.1009 Depreciation $4237 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $755 Other Expenses.1 MISC.
