Animals helping people
This program aims to provide information and resources relating to the training, treatment, and placement of therapy dogs. There is a wide range of conditions and afflictions affecting people who can benefit from a higher quality of living with the addition of a therapy dog in their life. From those suffering from autism to people with physical limitations imposed by birth defects, MS or debilitating strokes, or Post Traumatic Stress, the presence and assistance of a therapy dog can make a tremendous difference in the details of everyday life.
For people suffering from psychological conditions, such as post traumatic stress disorder, the presence of a therapy dog can also make a huge difference, improving day to day outlook and offering hope for the future. Through the Animals Helping People Program, Guardians of Rescue will provide assistance to identify the appropriate resources for those in need and expedite the process of getting help to those who need it.
Humane education
The Next Generation Guardians are a group of young people from all walks of life. Their goal is to “learn the ropes” of animal rescue and be the change for our future. This program is a very important aspect of our mission. It is presented at public middle schools, high schools, Boy & Girl Scout troops, vocational schools and residential facilities for at risk youth. This program encompasses a number of animal welfare related topics, such as:
• How to recognize the signs of animal abuse and neglect, and how to report it in the proper manner.
• How to fight animal abuse and help defend creatures that cannot do so themselves.
• Why dog fighting is wrong and morally reprehensible and why it cannot be tolerated.
To further the impact of our Humane Education program and further empower students, Guardians of Rescue works with schools and school districts to organize food and supply drives to benefit their local shelters, and assist them with the “Sponsor a Shelter Pet” initiative.
“Creative Living” is produced and hosted by Sheryl Borden. The show is carried by more than 118 PBS stations. Contact her at:
