The Rescue For PTSD

We are heartbroken to share the passing of Justice, Chris B’s beloved service dog. While his loss is deeply felt, we'd like to focus on the incredible joy, comfort, and companionship he brought to so many people.

Justice started out with plans to be a drug-sniffing dog for the Texas Department of Corrections, but life had a different plan for him. Their loss was our gain! Smart, loyal, a quick learner, and full of love, Justice found his true purpose alongside Chris, becoming not only a service dog, but a best friend and beloved member of the family.

Justice brightened people’s days everywhere he went. He will be remembered for the sweet boy he was and the love he gave so freely.

We’re keeping Chris and his family in our thoughts and sending them love during this difficult time. ❤️

Today's is all about Shalean & Freedom!

As part of our group program, this dedicated duo trained alongside other service teams in monthly classes and practiced public outings at stores and outdoor malls. With hard work, lots of snuggles, and unwavering support, they made it to graduation! 🎓🐾

Beyond class, Shalean & Freedom are a perfect pair: clearly meant for each other and always sharing with other Veterans how impactful a service dog can be. Shalean shares: “I thank God every day that R4PTSD believed in me when I didn’t think I had much life left. Freedom gave me back the courage I lost.” Stories like theirs are why we do what we do. 💛

A huge thank you to Del Webb The Woodlands Veteran Club for their continued support. They have generously sponsored multiple teams, including Jose & Kobe, Matt & Bear, and now Shalean & Freedom. It was especially meaningful to have DWTW officers join our most recent group training class and meet our teams in person.
