Our Story
For the past decade, i have dedicated my life to professional dog training while actively engaging with and supporting survivors of domestic violence in our community. Throughout this journey, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of providing a safe space for individuals to heal emotionally. Understanding the importance of feeling protected and supported, i have come to believe in the profound impact that dogs can have on one's journey toward healing and transformation.
Driven by a deep passion to make a difference, I founded Canine Impact Foundation with a clear mission in mind: to provide a pathway to emotional healing by leveraging the unique bond between humans and dogs. In Oklahoma, where the rates of both euthanasia and domestic violence consistently rank among the highest in the nation, I saw an opportunity to address these interconnected issues and make a meaningful impact in our community.
