Mission Statement
Ridgeside K9 Foundation will provide, evaluate, and place support dogs with Veterans, First Responders, and our allies needing support who are experiencing PTSD for the purpose of service and psychiatric support. Ridgeside K9 Foundation will become a national influence and driver in mental health and PTSD awareness as well as a national collection point for all nonprofits in the mental health sector. RSK9F will collaborate with other nonprofits to support their missions in the veteran and law enforcement community.
About This Cause
Ridgeside K9 Foundation is dedicated to giving back to the Veteran and First Responder communities. Our warriors at home and abroad may often be overworked, underpaid, and under-appreciated with limited support networks to help deal with compounding stress and both mental and physical injuries. Our mission is simple: to give back to our nation’s heroes by uniting them with exceptional canine companions. Ridgeside K9 Foundation (RSK9F) is a group of like-minded individuals from the Veteran, Law Enforcement, and First Responder communities who strive to raise awareness about PTSD and mental health. Here at RSK9F we support our first responders and their allies. Our executive team has decades of years of combined experience. At RSK9F, we source, train, and provide psychiatric support dogs to our heroes facing PTSD and other mental health issues. Veterans often compartmentalize and deal with the stressors of combat, long deployments, and overall sacrifices. Our Law Enforcement brothers and sisters deal with continued exposure to death, fatalities, violence, suicide, and the sacrifice it takes to complete a career in law enforcement. Our legal and government workers are also exposed to the same levels of combined stress as well and serve our military and law enforcement officers to assist in the mission. Our companion dogs (often referred to as our Battle Buddies), are carefully selected and trained on a case-by-case basis to suit the specific needs of our heroes in need or crisis. Oftentimes structure, discipline, movement, and responsibilities are key factors when dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Our Battle Buddies are unconditionally devoted to being by your side every step of the way. Our network of therapy dogs also supports local and VA hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and families who are dealing with the hardships of stress, anxiety, and rehabilitation.
