How Joanne and Maeve Met and Became Advocates

Usually I'm the voice of our team.  After all I'm a lot younger and prettier than Joanne and people pay more attention to young, pretty girls.  Sometimes, though, I feel I ought to let Joanne speak in her own voice.  It's good for her self-esteem.

Anyone Seriously Interested in Training Their Own Psychiatric Service Dog?

PLEASE FORWARD AND SHARE THIS POST: Are you or someone you know seriously interested in obtaining and training a psychiatric service dog?  A contact of ours has identified a couple of four-month-old black standard poodle puppies who are good candidates to do this work.  Since finding a puppy with better than average chance of success is one of the hardest parts of obtaining and training a service dog, this is a great opportunity for the right person.
Maeve is a psychiatric service dog for Joanne Shortell and mental health advocate for all people with psychiatric disabilities. Maeve's goal is to become the Johnny Appleseed of emotional support animals and psychiatric service dogs.
