Hello, everyone! I’d like to introduce you to Big Dog 6. https://www.facebook.com/BigDog6.inc/ We’re a nonprofit organization devoted to providing large-breed, mastiff-type dogs to victims of psychological trauma. These people victims may be veterans, firefighters, police officers, victims of domestic violence, etc. The majority of our dogs are rescues, and the rest are actually provided to us by breeders at no cost. We provide for the initial veterinary care of the dog, then pair the dog with the applicant. The applicant attends arranged-training with the dog locally to train it as a comfort dog, emotional support dog, or PTSD service dog. This assists in creating an emotional bond between the applicant and the dog. We (and the ADA) feel this is incredibly important in cases of psychological trauma.

If you’re not familiar with the costs of service animals, they can easily be in the tens of thousands of dollars, require travel on the part of the applicant, and bounce through multiple fosters before being provided. This creates no bond between the dog and the applicant, but it does create an excessive financial burden to the applicant. On the other hand, we provide these dogs at zero cost to the applicant, other than a very small administrative fee that is returned to the applicant if we cannot provide them with a companion.

Please stop by and give us a look and a like on Facebook. If you agree with what we do, please share with your friends. This is an extremely costly endeavor and we rely on donations and grants to fund our work. And we rely on people like yourselves, lovers of these gentle giants, to spread the word about what we do.

Thank you!
