Why The Malinois Foundation?
The Malinois Foundation is passionate and committed to helping veterans, first responders, women survivors and children to heal and progress through service dog work. The bond that is created between handlers and their service dogs have enormous healing power and is becoming increasingly popular in the mental health and medical communities as one of the best options for recovery. Service dogs can help:
- Increase activity and integration into society.
- Ground in reality, redirect hyper-vigilance.
- Reduce the length and intensity of night terrors and flashbacks.
- Increase independence.
- Mitigate threats & create a sense of safety.
- Provide 24/7 companionship and support.
Most people recognize a service dog's impact on their handler's life and often don't realize the incredible ripple effect that happens when a service dog helps a loved one regain their independence. A wife gets her husband back, a child gets their father/mother back, a community regains a hero, a friend, and a valued member of society.
