Help Katie Heal After Losing Nox

Help Me Start Over After the Loss of My Service Dog, Nox

On June 16, 2025, my beloved psychiatric service dog, Nox, passed away unexpectedly. For nearly 9 years, Nox was my constant companion — trained to help me navigate the challenges of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. He wasn’t just a dog; he was my lifeline, my safety net, and my best friend.

His sudden loss has left me devastated — emotionally and medically. Life without him is not only painful, but dangerous. I’m now in urgent need of a new psychiatric service dog to help me regain the stability and independence that Nox provided.

Unfortunately, this process is costly:

$8273.75 for professional service dog training tailored to my psychiatric needs

Breakdown of Training:

Elite Puppy Prep 904.05

Puppy Platinum 3418.30

PTSD/Psychiatric Service Dog 4254.25

+ Scent work training for my diabetes (price tba)

I get a discount for combining programs, plus tax the total comes to 8273.75.

I’m asking for your help to raise $8,000 to cover these essential costs. Every donation — big or small — brings me one step closer to healing, recovery, and reclaiming the daily support I so heavily relied on.

$5,500 for a puppy from a reputable, temperament-tested breeder, with no history of hip dysplasia or Cancer-I'm working on saving for this and to cover myself!!!

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page. Your support means everything in this journey to honor Nox’s legacy and begin again.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
