We envision stronger communities using human-canine partnerships to promote well-being, independence, and meaningful connections. Bella's Buddies K9U program partners with schools to train dogs in unique settings, providing purpose-trained outcomes to serve veterans, students, and local organizations, ensuring those in need are never alone.

Bella’s Buddies Inc. a 501 c-3 non-profit corporation, joins organizations with canines that are trained to alert and respond to specific needs in order to increase social and behavioral proficiencies, promote physical wellness, and encourage independence in solitary and social environments.

The Bella’s Buddies K9U program vision includes public school students in the training of golden retrievers for use as future facility and therapy dogs for organizations who focus on veterans and schools in need. K9U responds to schools and communities in crisis by providing Animal Assistive Intervention teams who are trained in conflict resolution and grief response.

The Bella’s Buddies K9U training program works to promote public school student interest in contributing to society and appreciating the service of veterans by utilizing classroom settings to train future facility, therapy and emotional support dogs for organizations who seek to enrich the lives of individuals using animal assistance.
