Forever in My Heart Foundation Seeks Student Trainers for Service Dogs

by

The Forever in My Heart Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Middletown that rescues dogs and trains them to be service animals for disabled United States veterans. Shona Kerr, Adjunct Professor of Physical Education and Head Coach of Squash, is working with the foundation to start a club on campus that will provide students with the opportunity to train dogs as service animals to be placed with veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or mobility issues. More information about the program can be found in this article that was recently published in the Wesleyan Argus.

If you are interested in helping found this club, or if you are interested in learning more about the Forever in My Heart Foundation, please get in touch with Coach Kerr at skerr@wesleyan.edu, or fill out this form to explain why you would like to join.
