Assistance dogs aid their owners in a multitude of ways, and the benefits of providing an assistance dog to someone living with PTSD are immeasurable. With each dog taking 18 months to train at a cost of $35,000, Code 9 needs your help to subsidise the cost of training more assistance dogs for more people.

An experience like going to the shopping centre, attending sporting events, or going anywhere with a crowd of people is a simple task for many people, but a challenge for those with a diagnosis of PTSD. An assistance dog helps their owner to remain calm and grounded, providing support and improving overall mental health. To see one of these dogs in action is incredible.

The constant companionship these amazing dogs provide sufferers, allows the individual and their family the freedom, security, laughter and quality of life which was previously not possible. The Code 9 Foundation is committed to sponsoring as many of these dogs as possible.
