Animal-Assisted Crisis Response is prepared to lend assistance
to First Response Agencies by sending Certified Animal-Assisted Crisis Response

Our teams are trained and
certified to provide support and comfort to people
affected by crises and disasters. From single person crises
to national disasters, HOPE AACR is ready to help. We have experienced teams
consisting of canines and handlers that are trained and tested
to be able to respond under stresses of crisis response work.
HOPE AACR Teams are ready to work side by side with you. All
HOPE certified teams are are insured by a $1 million general
liability policy. |

|
Stress Management
is an important consideration for first responders. HOPE AACR
Teams can help provide needed relief for your staff, without
saying a word.
Interacting with calm, well-mannered dogs is known to help
decrease heart rate, lower blood pressure, and helps first
responders to
unwind in a simple, yet effective way. |

Each and every firefighter had a positive reaction to your
teams and it helped greatly with our grief. I'm a pretty
big guy and a bit rough around the edges and yet I found myself
hugging the dogs and found it so comforting in my time of
grieving. I want to commend you and your teams, and want
to thank you so very much for coming to our aid.
