One Biscuit, Two Hearts: Feel Better

ruff RUFF! Hi! My name is Allison and this is my dog,Coco. Do you know what it feels like to be a kid in the hospital? Sometimes you are really lonely. But I'm trying to change that. Sometimes pets are the only things that help. I'm trying to raise money for a family to get a dog trained by the K-9 Companion Program at the Colorado Correctional Industries by selling homemade dog biscuits. I know what it feels like to be in the hospital and let me tell you it is not a lot of fun. But these kids didn't do anything. Anyway, I want these kids to have a dog, a best friend, to help them feel better. Please help change a child’s life!

Our Mission

The Stink Bug Project supports families who have a child diagnosed with a life threatening illness. 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.

I would encourage anyone to look into the program and not to be worried about the added stress, expense, work load, etc. The Stinkbug Project has literally thought of and covered it all…we couldn’t be happier with our decision and we are so thankful to have been given this gift of a furry friend.

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.
