Celebrate the graduation of PTSD Assistance Dogs

PTSD Dogs Australia are excited to be hosting a morning tea at Cooroy RSL to celebrate the graduation of this year’s PTSD Assistance Dogs.

The Noosa-based charity, PTSD Dogs Australia rescues displaced dogs from pounds and shelters, and trains them to become loyal, confident, and supportive certified Psychiatric Assistance Dogs for Veterans and 000 First Responders suffering from PTSD.

PTSD Dogs Australia chief executive officer Angie Weeks invites everyone to come along and celebrate the great achievement of these dogs and hear their stories and the difference they are making to their handler’s lives.

“Our dogs have come from such varying circumstances but have graduated from their training with flying colours and have now been placed with a handler,” she said.

“It’s time to celebrate their success and it is also a great opportunity to thank our fosters, volunteers and sponsors who have all supported these dogs’ journeys.”

The Graduation Morning Tea is on Wednesday 14 May from 9.30am at Cooroy RSL. It is also a birthday celebration as PTSD Dogs Australia has been operating for seven years.

Tickets are $20 which includes morning tea, attendance at the graduation ceremony and a donation to the charity to assist them in continuing this life-changing work.

Bookings can be made online at events.humanitix.com/graduation-and-7th-birthday-celebration-morning-tea
