Shelter & Rescue Support
Empowering organizations with trauma-informed touch to increase adoptability and reduce kennel stress.Healing the “Unadoptable”
In high-volume environments, stress is the silent enemy. Our programs empower staff and volunteers with techniques designed to lower cortisol, build trust, and help dogs put their best paw forward.
The Shelter Toolkit
Quick-Calm Protocols
2-minute targeted touch techniques designed for the kennel environment. These help “shut-down” dogs re-engage and hyper-aroused dogs find their center before meet-and-greets.
Reading Micro-Signals
Advanced body language training. Learn to identify the subtle “flickers” of stress or pain that precede a snap, ensuring safety for both the handler and the dog.
