A Private Charitable Foundation
The Sweetheart Support Foundation is a 501c3 charitable organization with a mission to bring canine therapeutic support into the lives of deserving individuals, especially those healing from trauma, navigating life with a physical, mental, or emotional health disability*, and families caring for a loved one in need. We provide charitable donations to help establish the human-canine connection without the financial burden and confines associated with obtaining a well-rounded support dog. Friendship comes in all shapes and sizes, and the right companion can nurture one's happiness on their journey to find healing.
Since the inception of our small family program in 2022 and the gradual transition to a private foundation status in 2024, The Sweetheart Support Foundation has continued to evolve and expand our community outreach efforts. Our charitable donation program is designed to address the unique needs of those we serve by offering a variety of suitable canine companion breeds to make the best match possible with consideration of the individual or family, environment, and future support role our dog will fill. Through our donation program and partnerships, the Sweetheart Support Foundation aims to reduce the financial barriers that limit one's access to canine therapeutic support. Not only do we donate our dogs at no cost to eligible individuals and families, but we also collaborate with reputable dog training programs to make training services more affordable to our families.
In a world that often leaves people facing hardship feeling unseen, we want them to know we see them...through both human and canine eyes.
* Disability diagnoses require supporting documentation from a licensed treating physician. Additionally, depending on the diagnosis, level of severity and impact, and a written recommendation from the treating physician, direct family support may be required to manage the daily care of the canine companion to receive approval for a Sweetheart Support dog. This is to ensure the health and safety of all parties involved.
