Help us PAW IT FORWARD.
Dog Training to the Rescue
Dog Training to the Rescue offers weekly Ask a Dog Trainer Live zooms, where anyone in need of training support can come for no-cost, judgment-free behavior support in a semi private zoom environment.
Our goal is to bring attendees Canine Awareness & Responsibility Education.
Think of the vintage D.A.R.E. program, but with dogs!
We also plan to offer various community programs to support families in need with training guidance, to keep their dogs in their homes, and out of the shelter.
Our PAWtastic volunteer teams will perform at events and schools in under-served communities to entertain and inspire, teaching dog bite prevention, body language, wellness care and positive reinforcement training in a fun, interactive learning atmosphere.
Programs in Development
Solace Support Dogs
For Grief, Loss & Crisis Support
There are people who are at a point in their lives when they have been devastated by a personal loss. The widow. The disaster survivor. The senior caught up in the loneliness epidemic.
There are dogs with lovely temperaments who arrive at circumstances where they need new homes. A shelter dog whose family could not keep them. A well-loved dog whose owner has passed away. A retired movie dog who can’t get enough time with a trainer whose job is pulling them away.
They can bring so much comfort to each other, and fill the empty spaces in their lives. We want to match dogs and people in need, with the compassionate expertise of trainers and help them bond into a new family unit that will last for the rest of their lives.
Service Dog Training
Preston’s Angels
We will raise, train and provide psychiatric service dogs to those who have been victims of trauma, or suffer from disabilities not commonly served by other service dog organizations.
Our goal is to find the best service dog prospects, thanks to relationships with both ethical rescues and reputable breeders. We are focused on finding the right match for our humans in need, with the intention of creating a lifelong, mutually-reciprocal impact, that is cultivated through science-based training methods.
Therapy Dog Outreach
The PAWtastics
Our certified, trick-trained, therapy dog all-stars will visit hospitals, nursing homes, children's camps and other facilities housing people in need of a smile, with the mission of bringing joy, and providing comfort.
The Pawtastics founding dogs, Delilah & Penelope, have been volunteering with the Dream Street Foundation and other organizations for over a decade. We can’t wait to continue Preston’s passion for therapy work, with a focus on special event-based outreach, to attract a younger demographic of therapy dog volunteer teams.
