Meet our volunteer Richie Patton, one of the newest members of our Project 2 Heal family! Like many of our volunteers, Richie enjoys spending time with our puppies and helping to exercise the older dogs. As he stated early in our discussion, Richie is a former veterinarian's kennel boy... 72 years ago! Additionally, as a former Medic in the U.S. Army, Richie has a certain empathy for veterans struggling with PTSD and physical disability.
"Especially toward those who have been wounded either physically or mentally and need a service dog... I really feel the situation for them."
