Canines With a Cause

Park City, Utah

Our Mission

Canines With a Cause rescues dogs from local shelters and places them in the Utah State Prison where they live and train with inmates. Once the dogs have appropriate training, they are placed with veterans suffering with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Who We Are

1 in 4 veterans returning from combat suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression or anxiety. Veterans return home with feelings of abandonment and have a difficult time adjusting to civilian life. The adjustment can include depression, substance abuse and in the worst cases, violence and suicide. Over two million healthy, adoptable dogs die in US shelters annually. One of the main challenges animal welfare groups and shelters have is finding ways to re-home shelter animals. The US has roughly 2.4 million people in prisons. Many of these incarcerated individuals would love the opportunity to give back to the community. Canines With a Cause addresses each of these issues, rescued dogs provide love, comfort, and help transform lives, they help veterans deal with invisible scars of war.
