Morning tea to celebrate graduation of PTSD Assistance Dogs

PTSD Dogs Australia are excited to be hosting a morning tea at Cooroy RSL to celebrate the graduation of their psychiatric assistance dogs.

Noosa based charity, PTSD Dogs Australia rescues dogs from pounds and shelters, and trains them to become loyal and supportive certified Psychiatric Assistance Dogs for veterans and first responders suffering from PTSD.

Chief executive officer Angie Weeks, invites you 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, they have graduated from their training with flying colours and have been placed with a handler,“ Angie said.

“We thought it was time to celebrate their success and it is also a great opportunity to celebrate and thank our volunteers, fosters and sponsors for all the work they have done.

“The event is being held on 4 July, which in America is Independence Day and we think that is pretty fitting here too because we are celebrating the independence that these dogs have given to their handlers.”

The Graduation Morning Tea is on Tuesday 4 July from 9.30am at Cooroy RSL.

Tickets are $20 which includes morning tea, attendance at the graduation ceremony and a donation to the charity to assist them to continue with the life changing work they are doing.
