WHO WE ARE
Raising Hope is an innovative organization blazing new trails in the complex world of working dogs.
Our highly trained, uniquely skilled dogs partner with therapists to help kids with autism,
behavioral challenges, down syndrome, and cerebral palsy reach their
physical, social, emotional and behavioral goals.
Simply said,
our dogs change kids' lives.
THIS PROJECT
WHAT
We are raising money to help cover the costs of Raising Hope's seven puppies in training.
WHY
Most of our funding will ultimately come from dogs we raise and place with visionary therapy groups around the country. However, puppies require many months to mature! And quality programs develop carefully over time. So, until our puppy raising efforts sustain us,
we need the help of people who believe in the work we do.
We are humbled and grateful for the opportunity to share our lives and work with the world.
It is a privilege to build a Support Community full of people who love our dogs and kids.
We can't wait to see all the impossible things we will accomplish together!
ENTER OUR NEW CAMPAIGN!
Seven,
and his Pay-It-Forward Pups...
SEVEN PAYS IT FORWARD TO OUR NEW RAISING HOPE PUPS
It's official!
Our first StartSomeGood campaign to help Seven get home for the holidays was a success.
Thanks to our new and growing Support Community, Seven, the gentle and intelligent dog in training to become a Mobility Support Dog, is home and making a difference every day.
He is nearly done with his rigorous 2-year training journey! We are deeply pleased with him
and the important work he has been prepared to do.
Seven is now ready to share the joys and struggles of learning with our new
class of puppies in training...
ENOCH, RADFORD, KELTY BLUE, LEMON, BRUCE, GOOSE, and baby T.MURRAY
Each of these pups has Seven's same incredible potential hidden inside
to learn and train, and grow to change the lives of people who have significant needs.
These precious puppies need us to come alongside Seven,
and make it possible for them to take the next steps in their own 2-year training journey!

The funds we gather here online will go toward the "hard costs" of our 7 puppies,
from the time each one arrived in our program until the end of 2016.
Our in-person Pay-It-Forward Parties will offset our training costs for 2016.

Together, we can help dogs change the lives of kids
who tackle their struggles and accomplish incredible things.
