Sometimes, all you can do is cry. And That's Okay.

Hi there!

My name is Dimitri! I am a 28 year old father and I suffer from extreame PTSD, Anxiety and Depression. My day to day life can be hard even with medication and plenty of therapy.

March 17th 2021, my beloved service dog Buster had passed away. He was my best friend and he meant the world to me. After about three years of struggling without his assistance and companionship, my husband and I felt it was time to find another dog that would fit alongside Buster in my heart.

Buster was a shelter dog before he became my service dog, and I knew it was something I wanted to do again, to give another dog a second chance at being something extraordinary.

This past week, we met quite a few dogs at the shelter with various dispositions and unique character, but nobody felt right but a 6 year old lab, Ronin. I saw what a gentle, sweet soul he was, the workers at the shelter praised how loved he was before he was there. He knows almost everything about obedience, and is a model canine citizen.

Needless to say, he's perfect for the job. The only thing he is needing is his service training to be a certified Psychiatric Service Dog. It's a little costly, which is why I am asking for a little help.

$4000 will help cover the costs of training and his testing. And in the end, he will be able to help me in my day to day life.And if there is any worry about if the money will go to the training, I will provide plenty of updates and photos of Ronin during his classes, his testing and graduation!I will also provide a link to the trainer we will be using as well.

The amount will cover the cost of the training and any additional fees that may possibly be part of it.

Thank you so much for reading my story!
