Dogs trained for canine-assisted therapy will be in New York to work with military veterans with PTSD and other conditions.
H4HUS (Hearts for Heroes), a non-profit organization that helps military veterans re-acclimate to life at home through participation in therapeutic canine and equine programs, will transport 15 shelter rescue dogs and their handlers from North Carolina to New York this month to work with military veterans at two locations from Monday, May 11 through Sunday, May 17.
The dogs will work with veterans at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Campus of the VA Hudson Valley Health Care System in Montrose, and at My Brother Vinny, a non-profit organization in Yorktown Heights. The dogs and their handlers will conclude their New York visit by participating in the My Brother Vinny Walk in Yorktown Heights on Sunday, March 17.
