K.I.N.D (Kids In Need of Dogs) Treats

Our K.I.N.D. (Kids in Need of Dogs) story began with a simple yet powerful idea: to harness the unconditional love and therapeutic potential of how dogs can help children and teens struggling with mental health challenges. As a team, we saw the increasing need for innovative and compassionate approaches to support the emotional and social well-being of at-risk and underserved youth.

Our journey started with a pilot program where therapy dogs were introduced to various community centers and schools. The impact was immediate and profound. Children who were once withdrawn and anxious began to open up, smile, and engage more in their surroundings. The therapy dogs, with their gentle and non-judgmental presence, created a safe space for these young individuals to express themselves and work through their struggles.

One memorable story from our program is that of Emily, a young girl who had been through severe trauma and had difficulty trusting others. When Emily met Sam, one of our therapy dogs, there was an instant connection. Over time, with Sam by her side, Emily started to participate in group activities, share her feelings, and even help others in similar situations. Sam’s companionship provided Emily with the comfort and courage she needed to begin her healing journey.

Through experiences like Emily’s, we have seen the incredible power of the human-animal bond. Our K.I.N.D. Treats initiative was born out of the desire to further support this bond and help schools develop therapy dog programs to help their students and staff.

These treats are more than just snacks they are helping to Change Lives One Treat at a Time!
