What is the CARE Team?

The Crisis Assistance and Response Enhancement (CARE) Team is a pioneering program by Custom Canines Service Dog Academy, providing rapid response and continued support to communities experiencing crisis.

​

Our highly trained service dogs and dedicated volunteers deploy in the wake of natural disasters, active shooter incidents, first responder debriefings, and other traumatic events to provide critical support. By partnering with emergency services, hospitals, schools, and mental health organizations, the CARE Team ensures communities in crisis receive immediate relief and ongoing recovery assistance.

​

Our mission is to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, ethics, and readiness, equipping our teams with specialized training in trauma-informed care, crisis response, and mental health first aid. Through this unparalleled level of expertise and preparedness, the CARE Team stands as a trusted resource in times of need.
