The Stink Bug Project provides dogs trained at the Colorado Prison Trained K-9 Companion Program to children undergoing treatment for cancer.
OUR MISSION: The Stink Bug Project supports families stricken with childhood cancer. We provide well-trained, loving companion dogs from the Prison Trained K-9 Program at Colorado Correctional Industries. Dogs lower stress for patients and caregivers and we think that finding the perfect best friend during this stressful time will make a huge difference. We also find ways to help siblings who tend to get lost in the shuffle during this difficult time.
Why a Stink Bug? Allison drew this stink bug when she was almost done with chemo. "BYE BYE STINK BUG!" became her rallying cry to just get the yucky stuff over with.
