Stiggys Sanctuary will be the Forward Operating Base of Stiggy’s Sanctuary.  A place where The Veterans will be housed (Base Housing), a training Center for Dogs (the Barracks), our Office (Command Post). Each of our Veterans receives personal training with their new Service Dog. This training is vital to the bonding and growth of our Veterans and Dogs. We take them through basic commands, work together on their *task* training (medication reminders, etc) and work with them on their outings (Restaurants, Stores, etc). We will live there as well since our dogs have 24hr training/care, this makes it much more cost effective, convenient and successful!  But more than that, Stiggy’s Sanctuary will provide a controlled safe environment that the Veterans need. We have two ponds, one will be stocked with Fish (catch and release) and the other will be a Zen pond, a place to go and mediate or be still and quiet. We will have trails thru the property for the Veterans to walk with their dogs. We plan to have a garden, to help with food cost, but also offer another activity for a Veteran to get involved with.

How we got here, please read.
