K9 Care Montana extends all programs and services to our wounded veterans. Although the severity may vary, all combat veterans experience Post Traumatic Stress (PTS). In addition to our service dog program, as an alternative treatment for PTS, we provide customized outdoor activities and events for war veterans and associated organizations .The incorporation of our service dogs adds to the uniqueness of our program, allowing the veterans the opportunity to experience interaction with a trained service dog along with the great outdoors. There is supporting evidence showing the interaction with such dogs lowers stress levels and can assist the healing process.
Team K9 Care Montana sets the stage for healing and recovery. As a result of a severe spinal injury in 1984, David "Dogman" Riggs closely relates to the recovery process and the struggles that are associated with a trauma injury, including PTS. With his service dog by his side, David shares his life experience with veterans to provide additional information, hope and encouragement. K9 Care Montana, Inc. often accepts recipients from members or alumni of like-minded organizations like Wounded Warriors Project (WWP), Project Healing Waters, and Montana Wounded Warriors.
