Bring Fish Home to Georgia

Hi everyone, My name is Fish! I am a 2-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) who was adopted by Warriors Heart to become a PTSD service dog to a veteran/first responder in need. I found my Veteran, Tyler, a few weeks ago, and we started my journey to become his Service Dog, a battle buddy….. to always watch his six. Tyler is a Marine Corps Veteran and Purple Heart Recipient suffering from PTSD, hypervigilance, night terrors, depression, and anxiety with not many ways to cope on his own. He came all the way here to train me and to have a chance at a better quality of life.

We work daily, refining the tasks that I will perform to help Tyler’s days and nights easier to manage. Today we are working on my movement and guide tasks that will assist him with many things, including his hypervigilance; he will know I’m watching our surroundings. After this, we will start on interruption tasks to mitigate his night terrors and anxiety. I love doing my job and helping him, We have weeks ahead of us, and every day I have my chance to show Tyler I’ve got him. The total cost for my training, supplies, equipment, and boarding is $5,000 and Tyler was able to put up the first $2,000 himself but needs some help raising the rest.

Tyler is also getting the counseling he needs while he’s here and his physical and mental health are improving. I would be so grateful if you could donate to my cause so I can return home with my new buddy in a few weeks and continue to help him!
