Puppy in kill shelter finds forever home as my service dog. #ServiceDog #Doglove #livechanging #PTSD #CPTSD

I wanted to share a heartwarming story of my service dog in training who I’ve been waiting to get for two years. My trainer saw this dog in a kill shelter. I asked her to go look at the dogs for me and she did. The dog was starved. His feet were burn from urine, and he was very sick with worms and other parasites. I took him home with me after a week of being at the trainers getting treatment. I’ve had this dog who I named Zane, which which means sustain for only 3 weeks now, and he’s already a rock star in his forever home. I picked that name because he’s my service dog to be, and he will sustain me as I will sustain him. I started training him at Dog’s Play and he started to excel immediately. After just three weeks of having him, he’s already passed his first of four skill Tests to become a full service dog. He has won a ribbon and successfully worked an obstacle course yesterday. Zane is loving, smart, strong and is already helping me to handle my psychiatric disability. I plan on having a long life with my best friend Zane. Please consider adopting dogs instead of buying them. There’s so many dogs out there waiting for a forever homes. . #ServiceDog #Doglove #livechanging #PTSD #CPTSD

My dog says hello and he wants everyone to know if anyone is having a hard time he will give as many kisses as needed to help cheer you up.

What gets me through.

The world feels crazy right now. I am trying not to get caught up in all the fear, which feels hard. I have lots of beautiful people in my life but the isolation of this situation is making me feel so sad and lonely. Trying to be accountable through truth. Trying to just be in today. This handsome guy(Pippin) helps ground me(and he is a goof). #Bipolar #PTSD #Doglove

Best friend

This beautiful guy is all I have from my past that is helpful. He’s sick now, 12 years old and I just don’t know how to face losing him. He’s my forever partner and I need him to stay. ##Doglove

Why

Reasons why you should get a dog?
1) they often force you out of bed or join you
2) they love you no matter what
3) they distract your mind from negative thoughts
4) you’ll start to worry about their happiness rather than yours therefore causing less putty on yourself
5) they force you to go out for walks #Doglove

Everyone Needs Someone

Everyone... Meet my best friend Lilly. My beautiful and sweet 12 year old chocolate Labrador border collie. I took the photo last week during a walk. My life has never been more difficult emotionally than this past year and even more so now with a cancer diagnosis. Without Lilly I honestly do not know if I could have continued to want to live. Even when I was crying silently she knew and would come over and comfort me. The point? Everyone needs someone. Even sometimes a pet. Sometimes a pet is better than a human as there is no judgement but only unconditional love. I owe my life to this beautiful canine soul. She guided me through the darkness and made me feel loved when no one else did. Remember than you are lovable. But find at least one "someone" to reach out to. Even a crisis line to talk to someone even if you are not suicidal. We all need someone. #Doglove #SuicidePrevention #Cancer #reachingout #ChronicIllness #Depression #PTSD #MentalHealth

My little life saver #dog #Doglove #Depression #Anxiety #Fibromyalgia

I’ve been going through a lot recently and my rescue boy Buster and my loving partner Stefan, are the reason I’m still able to get up in the morning. My depression has really taken a hold of me, but looking into my little boys pretty face when he comes for a cuddle really helps me get through the day. I just needed to share a picture of him with the mighty community. #helpwithdepression #DepressiveEpisodes #depressed

Anxiety and Dogs #Doglove #Anxiety

Having a dog and a cat is for me the best motive to get out of bed. I really don’t know what I would do without them.
