Stiggy's Dogs is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that transforms shelter dogs into individually trained Psychiatric Service Animals for our military veterans living with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury at no cost to the veteran. Like guide dogs for the blind, Psychiatric Service Dogs aid people with mental illnesses and traumatic brain injury. These dogs are taught specific tasks ranging from reminding veterans to take their medicine, waking them up from a nightmare or alarm clock ringing, to directing them through a crowd.

All of our dogs are rescued. They come from rescue organizations, shelters, animal control agencies and humane societies. We believe that many mixed breed and rescue dogs can make wonderful service dogs and provide a mutually beneficial relationship with a veteran living with PTSD and/or TBI.

By rescuing shelter dogs and providing our military veterans living with PTSD and TBI with psychiatric service animals, we are Rescuing One to Rescue Another.

MISSION AND VISION

HISTORY

Stiggy’s Dogs was founded by Jennifer Petre in memory of her nephew, HM3 Benjamin Phillip ("Doc Stiggy") Castiglione. Doc Stiggy dedicated his life to preserving and improving the physical and emotional health of those serving in his unit, and all who serve. He gave his life working as a Corpsman in Helmand Province in Southern Afghanistan, taking care of "his Marines" until September 3rd 2009. HM3 Benjamin "Doc Stiggy" Castiglione, was respected by his Marines and known for his determination, professionalism mixed with sharp wit.

To his family he is remembered for his caring nature, his love for family and dogs.

 

   

FROM THE DIRECTOR

    On behalf of the entire Stiggy’s Dogs organization, I am excited to present our first Annual Report. In here, you will find the story of the fifteen dogs and fifteen veterans we have paired to date. Together their stories reflect a journey all their own. In moving Stiggy’s Dogs forward, we have indirectly built a family. Our veterans are a part of us, our organization and our future. These veterans have also become close with other veterans and their families, creating a new mission we could have only dreamed of: Veterans helping Veterans. This past year has been one of significant change and growth. Donna Fournier, Director of Training, and I have worked hard, bending, learning and changing with our veterans and our dogs. We have learned much in the area of PTSD and traumatic brain injury. Because of this I can honestly say that we have built the best training manual for Psychiatric Service Dogs that will become a platform for others to follow, a guideline for laws to be made, and foundation for us to succeed.

Our growth in the past year has culminated in the beginning of a new facility. Down dusty Bowen Road in Howell, Michigan lies the future of Stiggy’s Dogs: the Forward Operating Base of Stiggy’s Sanctuary. The Sanctuary will contain so much of what we need to grow: housing for veterans (Base Housing), a training center for the dogs (The Barracks) and administrative offices (Command Post). My family and I will live there as well so we can provide 24 hour training and care in a consistent environment. Stiggy’s Sanctuary will also provide the controlled and safe environment the veterans and dogs need during their training. The Sanctuary will have two ponds: one will be stocked with fish (catch and release) and the other will be a Zen pond where veterans can mediate and reflect. We will have trails thru the property for the veterans to walk with their dogs. We also plan to have a garden to help with food cost as well as to offer another activity for veterans to get involved.

I especially feel blessed to be able to add to our organization. In the past year we have added people like DeeDee Reno, our tireless Bookkeeper and Office Manager. Faith Harris, one of our veterans, has joined us as Assistant Director. Kim Saks has started as our Development Coordinator. With these three remarkable women, donating their time that is much needed, we are able to take this next step in the Stiggy’s journey. I welcome them with open arms into our Stiggy’s family.

There is much to do in 2012! Creating the perfect Stiggy’s Sanctuary will require us to find a cost effective way to house The Barracks, make minor modifications to the main house and property and create the perfect environment for pairing success. We are also on a mission to engage more fully with our business partners, other non profits and our supporters. With our legion of thousands of followers and the ever-growing group of Friends of Stiggy’s, we know that this type of community involvement is not only possible, it’s beneficial to everyone involved.

As we continue to support our mission of “Rescuing One to Rescue Another” I want to take a moment to thank all of those who have helped us get to this point. We have relied heavily this past year on personal donations—donations of time, donations of money and ceaseless encouragement. This is our foundation as we move forward now. Each and every one of you are in this with us, all included now, in our Stiggy’s family….

Sincerely, Jennifer Petre Director and Founder

WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE A STIGGY’S DOGRECRUITING, TRAINING AND DEPLOYING OUR PSYCHIATRIC SERVICE DOGS

Many people have asked what it takes to recruit, train and deploy a psychiatric service dog here at Stiggy’s Dogs and our Director of Training, Donna “Doctore” Fournier, agreed to sit down and walk us

through the process that has led to the deployment of fifteen psychiatric service dogs to date.

STEP ONE: RECRUITMENT

Countless dogs are looked at from both shelters and rescues. This process can take weeks to find the perfect candidate. We look at the dog’s tolerance level toward strangers doing a physical exam, picking up paws, taking treats or toys out of their mouths, and a bear hug. If a dog cannot accept these things from a stranger, they are passed by and another dog will be selected and tested. It is of utmost importance that our dogs be balanced and stable in behavior.

Once a dog has passed the initial behavior assessment, we look at the intelligence of the dog: if the dog willing to work for a toy as praise, does he/she know basics like Sit, does the dog show eagerness and focus to concentrate on a new command. All of these simple tests will show if the dog has the intelligence to make it through the basic obedience portion of training, and has the potential to learn new tasks. After that, we look at the dogs’ level of compassion: will the dog nuzzle in and cuddle when a stranger sits on the floor, lick face and hands, allow hugging? If the dog shows acceptance, intelligence, and stability, they become our newest recruit.

from Better Life Canine Center in Livonia, Michigan.

DID YOU KNOW?

There are an estimated five million dogs in shelters in the United States. Many of these dogs would make excellent psychiatric service dogs. Stiggy’s Dogs are all rescued from shelters, rescues, humane societies and animal control organizations. In this way, Stiggy’s

Dogs is helping to control the pet population and save the lives of as many dogs as possible.

 

 

 

   

STEP TWO: TRAINING, PAIRING AND TESTING

Training begins with all basic obedience commands; approximately 120 hours of training will be completed before the dog can move further in the program. We train daily to get the dogs able to pass the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen Evaluation (CGC). When the dog is ready to pass the CGC, we bring in the veteran for pairing. The veteran and dog team will participate in daily training and bonding exercises for a minimum of one week. Once the veteran and dog have started to form the bond, and the dog is compliant with their new handler’s commands, the team will go through their first test: the CGC. From there, outings to dog-friendly public places begins; this could be outings to parks, walking city streets, learning to run alongside a bike or rollerblades, and exposed to activities like hiking and camping. These activities continue to increase the bond between dog and handler. During the outing process, we also begin training the veteran-specific tasks the dog needs to learn. This process of outings and tasks can take anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks; dog and veteran depending. Once the dog shows it can be in dog-friendly public places, we vest the dog, and begin our public outings to local stores for short outings. As long as the dog remains in a stable behavior, the outings will increase in length and locations will be added. Once the dog has worked in a variety of public locations, remains stable in behavior, and listens to commands, the second test can be given; the Service Dog Public Access Test (SDPAT). Upon passing the SDPAT and having learned the required tasks, the dog is considered to be officially a Psychiatric Service Dog, and at this point, the dog and handler can go home.

STEP THREE: DEPLOYMENT

This is not where our involvement ends, though. We continue to be a part of the veteran and dog’s life and offer continuing training for the lifetime of the dog. This continued training may involve providing training videos and handouts on newly approved PSD tasks, help with any issues the veteran may encounter. Additionally, a final test will be administered after the pair has been together at least a month. This last test verifies that the dog and handler team are still functioning as a cohesive unit. We also check in with each veteran to ensure they are maintaining the dog’s level of training throughout the partnership.

As you can see, making a Stiggy’s Dog is an intense process that requires constant feedback and assessment. This is why our program is so special: not only do we provide that feedback and assessment during the initial training, but we continue it throughout the career of the service dog. Our training team is always available to

our veterans and their dogs to address any behavioral issues or to help learn new tasks and activities. This allows us not only to help each veteran best utilize his or her service dog, but also allows us to constantly

improve our training program as we see each pairing progress.

 

 

 

 

   

TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR VETERANSWe periodically ask our veterans for updates on their dog and the program. While every person and dog varies, we have been grateful to get the feedback we have received on our program and our dogs. These

stories inspire us and show the power of healing through a psychiatric service dog. When we’re really lucky, our veterans “translate” for their dog and send us the dog’s thoughts on the process and show us that the

healing process works both ways.

“Heard someone say I'm deployed, but truth is I’m finally part of a family for good After all the moving around I’ve experienced, it’s a blessing to actually know where home is…I saw a sign on my vest that advises not to separate me from my handler. Glad to read that because I honestly don’t know how anyone in my pack would survive without me. My pack leader still suffers from nightmares but now he has me to wake him. In fact, I lead him through crowds, watch his back in public and so much more. Yup, my pack needs me but I need them just as much. I have a balanced life here and am loving every minute!”

  FROM ZOLTAN, PAIRED WITH JON BOTT

“Fiona has also greatly helped my sleeping, although I still 

take the same amount of meds, since she has been home 

with me I have been able to sleep through the nights 

without waking up as much as I did before I got her. What's 

funny is that Fi always goes to bed first and lays in my spot 

until I get into bed. When I get into bed she gets up and 

moves just long enough for me to lay down before plopping 

her head on my chest before I even have time to get settled 

in….  

Fi is absolutely the greatest thing I could have asked 

for and has helped my PTSD tremendously. She is 

extremely smart and most of the time it is like she can read 

my mind on what I am thinking.” 

FROM CHRIS KNOTTS, PAIRED WITH FIONA

 

 

 

 

 

   

“You see, we have this partnership thing going on; He looks 

out for me, takes care of my needs, and I return the care 

and love to Jeff so that he feels more complete, safe, 

secure, not so lonely, and happy with the world. It makes 

me really happy to see my Veteran enjoying himself, 

sometimes I think he is happy when I am happy. That's 

good, because I am happy almost all the time! Since being 

rescued out of the pound, trained by Stiggy's Dogs and 

deployed with Jeff, I have been the happiest dog in the 

world. I think my Veteran may feel the same.” 

FROM NALA, PAIRED WITH JEFF BECK

“I would have to say Trooper has helped out in so many 

ways.  I actually went Christmas shopping this year for my 

wife in a mall on a busy day by myself with Troops.  It was 

such a relief to know he was there keeping a watchful eye 

on my back. …Trooper, Lillie and I made the trip to Boston 

to attend the fundraiser in Boston.  Without Trooper and 

encouragement from my wife I would never have 

adventured into downtown Boston walked most of the 

Freedom Trail.” 

FROM JAMIE GORM, PAIRED WITH

TROOPER

DID YOU KNOW? A study from the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program showed that 82% of patients with PTSD who were assigned a service dog had a decrease in

symptoms of the disorder and 40% were able to decrease their prescription medications.

“She has helped me with night terrors, getting off meds and so 

much more.  Thanks to Honor I can now leave the house and do so 

many things with my 6 yr old son which I haven’t been able to do in 

so long.  I was recently diagnosed with stage 2 ovarian cancer.  This 

was devastating to me and when they said surgery I didn’t know if I 

could handle it. Honor came to all my appointments with me and sat 

right with me. When I was upset, she licked my tears as if to say it 

would be ok…Now as I recover she helps me in amazing 

ways…Honor has helped me live with PTSD and cancer in a positive 

way and for that she always be MY HERO!!!” 

FROM FAITH HARRIS, PAIRED WITH HONOR

Honor is nominated for the 2012 American Humane Association Hero Dog of the Year (Service Dog 

category)!  Voting begins on April 1, 2012 and runs through June 30, 2012.  Stay tuned for information on 

how to vote for Honor.

 

 

 

 

   

FUNDRAISING AND DEVELOPMENT

    The internet has always been Stiggy’s Dogs greatest resource. This year we have branched out and provided new ways for our supporters to become donors. Through our website we are able to collect donations through PayPal securely and safely. During the Class of Fall 2011 campaign we thousands of dollars for our dogs in training. We were also able to add the Friends of Stiggy’s Program through Rally, a new social networking and fundraising site. Our partnership with Rally is growing even as we speak and new functionality is being explored. We are always looking for new ways to make the donation experience as smooth and fulfilling as possible for our donors.

    With a growing fan base, Stiggy’s Dogs branched out this year to accommodate those supporters who wanted to do something more than just donate. Our Friends of Stiggy’s program provides our supporters and donors with the tools necessary to talk to their friends and family about Stiggy’s Dogs as well as creating a sense of community. Friends of Stiggy’s receive numerous benefits including a free t-shirt, early notification of new Stiggy’s swag and events, a quarterly newsletter (debuting in April 2012) and much more. New benefits are being added all the time. The Friends of Stiggy’s program allows our donors to be a part of our mission and our future in a new and dynamic way.

ONLINE FUNDRAISING FRIENDS OF STIGGY’S

   Nothing can take the place of face-to-face contact with the public. In a real and tangible way, Stiggy’s Dogs is not only providing psychiatric service dogs to our veterans, but we are providing outreach and education about service dogs to our communities. Sometimes our veterans are our best resource. In April 2011, Veteran Terran Frye (paired with Hershey) mentioned that we should have a bowling fundraiser and within a week one was planned. Terran and his wife Michelle worked tirelessly to secure donations from local businesses, often with Terran and Hershey making in-person visits to these businesses. The event raised over $2,000. But more than that it showed that we had the camaraderie of the people around us who had come together to help In November our own Faith Harris organized a fundraising event in Charlestown, MA. Not only did the event raise over $5,000, but it served to build a base of support for veterans and the service dog community. Stiggy’s Dogs has also partnered with the P.A.W.S. Project, a community service learning project. P.A.W.S., which stands for Promoting Academics With Service, allows students in Southeast Michigan the opportunity to engage in service learning projects about animal welfare and incorporate their classroom learning in real-world service.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO TRAIN A

PSYCHIATRIC SERVICE DOG? There is no set answer on this question because each dog and each veteran have unique needs. Yet it is a question we are often asked and this is an attempt to answer that question as best as possible. Remember, this is only an estimate and actual costs may be higher depending on circumstances.

ADOPTING, VETTING AND EQUIPPING A DOG FOR DUTY

Adoption Fees $150-300 Spay/Neuter $150-300 Veterinary care (vaccines, check up, medications) $50-150 Heartworm preventative for 6 months $25-40 Flea and tick preventative for 3 months $45-65 Microchip $46 Crate $80-150 Bedding $50 Collars (one training collar, one standard collar)and leash $60 Toys $50 Bowls $30 Vest and appropriate patches $75-105 ID Badge $10 Handbook $15

TOTAL $836-1371

TRAINING COSTS

Basic obedience training $150-200 Specialized Task Training $300-400 AKC Canine Good Citizen ® Test $10 Daily outings for dogs during training $100 Intensive trainer costs per dog for one session $2500

TOTAL $3060-3210

COSTS FOR PAIRING VETERAN WITH DOG

Lodging for veteran during pairing (2 weeks minimum) $1000-1500 Food for veteran during pairing (2 weeks minimum) $500-750 Transportation costs for veteran during pairing $500

TOTAL $2000-2750

Total Average Cost to Deploy a Psychiatric Service Dog: $5,896-7,331 Stiggy’s Dogs saves money by employing a full time trainer. Using outside trainers would cost at least $11,400 per dog.

This is why every dollar matters. Even the smallest amount can help rescue a dog from a shelter and help a veteran live a more meaningful life. We rely on donations and sponsorships to continue our work. Our donors make this possible. Businesses and individuals can contribute through our Friends of Stiggy’s program, our Shopping with Stiggy’s program or by sponsoring a dog. For more information on these opportunities, contact our Development Coordinator, Kim Saks at kim@stiggysdogs.org. We also rely on volunteers to help make Stiggy’s Dogs run. If you would like to donate your time or services, please contact us at info@stiggysdogs.org.

BY DONATING TO STIGGY’S DOGS, YOU ARE JOINING US IN RESCUING ONE TO RESCUE ANOTHER.
