Join Sojazzie Home Girl Media host, Jazzie Jones-Smith & guest as we talk boldly about PTSD & Suicide Prevention with Blake Rashad, former Veteran and Atlanta, GA police officer in the K9 division, established Top Dogg K9 Foundation, along with his wife also a former Veteran, Sheila Rashad. TDK9, is based in Lilburn, GA, but serves all eligible veterans in need of a service dog in the United States.
Wishing to work full-time with dogs, they made it a mission “to reduce the number of military families that are impacted by suicide due to mental illness each year,” Their signature program rescues, trains and pairs K9′s with disabled veterans for service, companionship or emotional support though they have dog obedience training to the public as well.
Top as he is affectionately called & Shelia the Admin behind it all, has recently been even more vocal for more substantial and consistent funding. It is critical that private funding comes in to cover the lack of VA funding if training continues for dogs to save lives. During one interview with AJC, Blake stated, "We have a society that is not a good look. We have data that is not a good look. We don’t want to see 60 veterans a day take their lives. It’s not beneficial to America to show, so we are asking them to be honest about something we don’t want to be honest about,” Rashad said.
