Kobe Kares is a program named after Kobe Campbell. Kobe celebrates his birthday in April and is a 5 year old Shih Tzu Amber

was fortunate enough to be able to adopt. Kobe is a fun-loving ball of love and life, and has the cutest face to brighten anyone's day. His favorite hobbies are playing with squeaky toys at 5am and getting his belly rubbed.

Through our Kobe Kares program, we provide training for Service and Therapy Dogs. Many of our dogs are rescues who have been abused and/or neglected themselves. In their new lives, we match them with individual and families facing crisis brought on by abuse and violence.

Dogs love unconditionally. They do not judge what you look like, where you live or how much money you have. A dog's presence can be especially important to an individual who needs a gentle, non-judgmental companion who can begin to help them heal and rebuild their lives after abuse.

A physically or sexually abused child may not want anyone to touch them. Dogs provide a non threatening touch that puts a child at ease, making them much more willing to open up. This may be the only loving interaction an abused child has known. An individual comfortable with petting and hugging a dog tends to feel safe to project their feelings on the dog and communicate their pain and fears. Once this person opens up about the abuse, the healing can begin.

Peabo N Woolie Foundation provides Certified Pet Therapy Dogs to help heal the hurting. Many of these dogs have suffered horrific abuse themselves and seem to understand on a deeper level.
Crystal rescues dogs that are in abusive situations, neglected or abandoned and finds foster homes for them. The dogs are then evaluated for temperament and if they would be a good candidate to be a Therapy or Service Dog. We then proceed with training and matching them with their loving human. Training for Therapy Dogs can take as little as 3 months. Training a dog to be a Service Dog takes 1-2 years of extensive training, depending on the need of the individual, and can costs up to $15k. We only use well trained Certified Therapy and Service Dogs.
