452SQN - Dogs for PTSD

Throughout the remainder of 2015, the members of 452SQN are aiming to raise enough funds to sponsor more dogs for The Young Diggers Dog Squad. We are going to do this through a variety of fundraising activities and events.

Each Dog costs $2,500 to rescue and train over a two year period. We are aiming to raise enough money to fund at least 2 more dogs, so please support our activities or make a donation today.

About the Dog Squad

The Defence Bank Foundation, in partnership with the Young Diggers Dog Squad is providing a unique program.

The Young Diggers Dog Squad is training rescued dogs to become Assistance Dogs to support the rehabilitation of our serving and ex-serving Australian Defence Force members who are dealing with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD). This program is helping more than just the individuals. The Dog Squad helps Defence families to better cope with the effects of PTSD and saves the lives of abandoned dogs.

The Dog Squad is run entirely by the volunteers at Young Diggers and they need people like you to Donate or Sponsor a Dog to continue running the program.
