The Kennek Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, is dedicated to bringing about hope, resilience and inspiration in the lives of those most vulnerable going through tough times.
“We have already utilized 25 Trouble trauma dogs in many ways … giving them to children experiencing violence and abuse … allowing kids to take Trouble home and keep him in their beds to give them a sense of comfort and safety. The Trouble Dogs delivered today will help us continue to offer comfort to kids going through the worst of the worst.”
