Jeremy spent 8 years in the Army. While deployed to Afghanistan in 2002, he broke his lower back. This back injury causes him chronic pain and makes it difficult to bend, pick up items, and complete tasks many individuals would consider routine. Jeremy believes having a Service Dog would motivate him to be more active, and help him move through the day with more confidence and ease.
Jeremy and MADDIE, a yellow Lab, bumped in January 2022, and an instant bond was formed! MADDIE will help Jeremy daily by bracing as he transitions from sitting to standing, and walking on uneven terrain. She will also retrieve items that are out of Jeremy’s reach, and will interrupt negative behaviors. We are happy to welcome these two to the paws4people family!
MADDIE was named by The Keyes Family.
