PROJECT 2 HEAL

Project 2 Heal is a non profit organization that breeds Labrador Retrievers for the best health and temperament and donates them to carefully selected service dog organizations across the country as a way to help them reduce the cost and time involved in making placements to their clients. Project 2 Heal provides early training to all pups starting as early as 2 days old. The success rate of Project 2 Heal puppies graduating as service dogs is an astounding 80%.

Project 2 Heal also trains a select number of dogs as skilled companions for local children and adults with special needs and wounded Veterans.

Our goal is to utilize the healing power of Labrador Retrievers to increase
independence in mobility impaired individuals and to provide emotional healing for children with special needs and wounded warriors.

Our vision for the future of Project 2 Heal includes creating a facility on more than 25 acres on the outskirts of Charlotte that will draw people from around the country. The facility will be much more than a venue where service dogs and skilled companion dogs will be bred and trained. It will be a place where the Charlotte community can work together with man’s best friend to make the world a better place. It will be a focal point for visitors of the Carolina Piedmont region. It will be a place where children with special needs can come for therapy and where neuro–typical children will come to understand the challenges faced by children with special needs, using the dog as a “social lubricant” in order to create a bridge of acceptance.
