A little love from a furry friend can help comfort and heal individuals or communities affected by natural or man-made disasters or tragic events. Tri-State Canine Response Team is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization based in New Jersey that uses certified, trained teams of dogs and their handlers to provide crisis response and emotional support. In addition, the organization helps those who are simply in need of the benefits these special K9s provide. Learn more at tri-statecanineresponse.org.
