Helping Eachother

Kal's Family

On March 15, 2015, Kal's mother, Jana, gave birth to 8 puppies at our home near Missoula, Montana. Seven of these puppies went to seven wonderful homes around the country, and Kal, who stayed with me, began preparing for his life as my Service Dog.

Most of these pups are growing up to be the spitting image of their mother, Jana, minus the gray that has begun to creep into her muzzle these past months. All of them take their ball-chasing duties with absolute seriousness, completely dedicated to this most important of tasks. Some are shy, some are outgoing, and some a little bit of both. All of them are intelligent, intense and completely devoted to their people.

Helping Eachother

3/16/2017

I've had a request to find a way for all of us pup owners to share insights on how we have dealt with specific issues with our dogs. I'm going to try and set that up here. If I've got this figured out right, commenting should allow the other owners to see and respond to questions. Lets give this a try and see if it works for us...

WAYS TO HELP:

Donate money directly by going to gofundme.com/Kal or mailing a check to Kal's Service Dog Fund, Christie Goodman, PO Box 209, Frenchtown, MT 59834
Pass our story on to others through email, Facebook or word-of-mouth and help us get the word out to a larger audience
Post fliers around town or pass them out at your church. Lots of stores have places to advertise things like this or will allow you to tape something up in their window. I can send you the flier we've already had made, all ready to go.
Ask local businesses for donations of money or services (one local printer donated our first printing of fliers).
Talk to local newspapers or magazines about running a story on us. Our story is interesting and local and the more we can get the word out the better!
Throw a fundraiser for us! It can be anything! One person arranged for a local brew pub to do a fundraiser where they donated $0.50 of every beer sold on a certain night. Another person arranged to sell coffee in Kal's name, with all profits going to his fund. My illness makes it too difficult for me to take on this kind of project right now, so this kind of organizational help from others is a Godsend.
