Where a dog's purpose meets her power.
We rescue dogs, rehabilitate them in our home with trauma-informed, force-free training, and place them - at no cost - with women veterans healing from PTSD.
Healing flourishes when people, animals, and communities are meaningfully connected.
The Tide and Heart Project rescues dogs from shelters and unsafe environments, gives them medical care, and pairs them with women veterans who benefit from steady companionship, emotional support, and a sense of safety. Every placement is free.

Four steps from shelter to home.
Rescue
We pull dogs from shelters and unsafe situations and give them full veterinary care.
Rehabilitate
Dogs live in our home full-time, learning safety through patience and routine.
Train
A full-time, force-free trainer prepares each dog for life with a veteran.
Match
We pair each dog with a woman veteran - free of charge, supported for life.
No kennels. Just a home.
Every dog lives with our founder throughout their training. They learn what stability feels like - what a quiet morning, a hypervigilant night, and a calm hand all sound and look like - before they ever meet their veteran.
- Force-free, positive reinforcement only
- Trauma-informed handling protocols
- Daily reinforcement, not weekly sessions
- Real-home preparation for real-life PTSD support
