Kelly's K9s, Tails of Courage, is a nonprofit organization providing survivors of domestic violence with a trained protection dog. It was founded by Kelly Sutliff after enduring her own domestic violence incident in December 2019 and getting into protection dog training as a result. Since then, it has been Kelly's mission to support and advocate for survivors and their safety. Kelly's K9s restores physical and emotional safety, promotes healing, and empowers survivors and their families. Through providing survivors with a trained canine, Kelly's K9s helps survivors foster their independence, build their resilience and renew their self-worth.
