*** UPDATE thank you everyone for your intrest! We currently have just the female and our trainer is now away on vacation so we will be homing her next week on Tuesday. Anyone interested apply on our website under programs-> pups for vets & first responders then scroll down the page to the aplu here!!**

We have two goldens left hoping to home today!
We have one male and one female left! To go to a veteran or first responder at no cost!

The female is timid, loves to tell you what shes thinking and full of energy! She is excited about life and with exposure and someone setting the boundaries she will be amazing! She would be good with either a family or single person!

The male is a little bottle rocket and can be dramatic but is full of lots of love! He would be best in a home with no kids and someone able to guide him and set goof boundaries to set him up for success!

All other 6 puppies have been homed and doing amazing!

We are hoping for applications that would be able to come to Bellingham this evening!

Text me if interested 774.273.3296

🐾 THREE BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN PUPS LOOKING FOR THEIR PERFECT MATCH! 🐾

A litter of Golden Retrievers was recently surrendered to our trainer, Jen at Stonewall Canine, and she is helping us find the right homes for these pups. Right now, we have three beautiful 12-week-old females available. 💛🐕

These pups are absolutely amazing and have so much potential to become wonderful, loving companions. They have spent their lives with their littermates and parents and have had very little exposure to everyday life outside of that environment. Because of this, they can be excitable and will need structure, firm boundaries, consistency, and guidance as they adjust and learn what is expected of them.

With the right person willing to put in that time and consistency, we believe these girls are going to make incredible companions.

One of the pups will do best as the only dog in the home.

Jen does an excellent job evaluating each dog's individual temperament and finding the right match for both the pup and the person or family. We want these girls placed in homes where they can truly thrive.

If you are a veteran or first responder and think you may be a good candidate for one of these pups, please complete our application below:

Bypass surgery is essential. If someone has critically obstructed coronary arteries, you don’t tell them to exercise more and improve their diet—you treat the acute medical problem.

The same principle applies to su***de. When someone is experiencing an acute suicidal crisis, clinical assessment, safety planning, crisis services, emergency intervention, and appropriate treatment can be lifesaving and are indispensable.

But nobody would design a national cardiovascular strategy around bypass surgery alone.

We invest upstream. We address blood pressure, cholesterol, physical activity, nutrition, smoking, access to preventive care, and other factors long before someone reaches the operating room.
Su***de prevention requires the same commitment to acting earlier.

There is, however, an important distinction: su***de is not heart disease.

Heart disease has relatively well-characterized biological and behavioral pathways. Su***de is far more heterogeneous. There is no single pathway to suicidal behavior and no single profile of the person who dies by su***de. Risk can emerge through different combinations of psychological distress, social isolation, relationship disruption, trauma, substance use, economic stress, physical illness, access to lethal means, loss of identity or purpose, and many other individual and environmental factors.

That heterogeneity doesn’t weaken the case for upstream prevention. It strengthens it.
It means su***de prevention cannot begin only after someone crosses a clinical threshold or enters an identifiable suicidal crisis. A comprehensive prevention system must work across multiple levels—strengthening protective factors, reducing modifiable risks, identifying distress earlier, creating pathways to care, and maintaining strong clinical and crisis-response systems for those who need them.

The analogy isn’t that su***de develops like cardiovascular disease.

The analogy is that waiting for the emergency is not a prevention strategy.

We absolutely need the bypass.
We should also be doing everything evidence supports to help fewer people ever need it.

Earlier this week, we had the honor of pairing Air Force Veteran Trish with K9 DJ from Sunny Paws Rescue! 🐾

Trish had been patiently waiting for the right pup and although finding the perfect match took longer than we originally expected, the outcome couldn’t have been better. DJ is exactly what Trish needed to bring more love, companionship, and connection into her life.

DJ was rescued from a hoarding situation, and now she is getting the opportunity to live her best life right alongside Trish.

We also had a special visit from Jill and Eliana, who attend Temple Sinai in Sharon, a wonderful supporter of 22Mohawks! Eliana is now holding her own fundraiser to support our Pups Program!

A huge thank you to Christine Tron for stepping in and helping transport DJ, and to Rally for Paws for sponsoring our Pups Program this year!

We are incredibly grateful for the amazing people and organizations who continue to step up and help us make pairings like this possible.

Welcome to the 22Mohawks family, Trish & DJ! 🇺🇸🐾

Last week, we had the honor of pairing Marine Veteran Anthony and his girlfriend Scotty with K9 Bronson.

Anthony found 22Mohawks through word of mouth at just the right time. He was looking for his new buddy, and Bronson turned out to be the perfect fit.

So many of these pairings happen because of connections. Someone knows someone. A conversation happens. A phone call is made. A person hears about 22Mohawks at exactly the right time. Behind every pairing is a network of people willing to open a door, make an introduction, and show up for someone else.

The individual stories of the people who come through our doors could stop you in your tracks. But those stories aren’t always meant for everyone’s ears. They’re shared quietly among people who have earned each other’s trust.

There is pain in this community, and battles being fought that most people will never know about. But there is also an incredible amount of strength, loyalty, love, connection, and purpose.

We welcome you to the 22Mohawks Family! 

A huge thank you to Mike for trusting us to pair his pups, and for the incredible care he gave them until they were ready to head to their new homes. And as always thank you to Rally for Paws for sponsoring our Pups Program for the year!

Last week, we had the honor of pairing Firefighter Aaron and his family with K9 Tullulah Rose!

Aaron and his family had spent months trying to find the right pup through different rescues, but nothing seemed to work out. When they were introduced to 22Mohawks, we knew Tullulah was exactly who they had been waiting for.

She may have been the runt of the litter, but don’t let her size fool you. This little girl is FULL of s***k and can absolutely hold her own. 😂🐾

Sometimes finding the right pup takes time. And sometimes, the right connection comes together exactly when it’s supposed to.

Aaron and family, we’re so grateful to have you as part of the 22Mohawks family! 

Thank you to Mike for trusting in us with these little ones and a huge thank you to Rally for Paws for sponsoring our pups program for the year!

Last week was another one of those full-circle moments at 22Mohawks. 🐾

We had the privilege of pairing Marine, firefighter, and 22Mohawks Jumper John with K9 Duke.

John was introduced to us through our good friend and longtime supporter Ralph Veltre, who has also jumped with us through our Airborne Operations Course. John made the drive from New Jersey for his pairing, and he’ll be back in September for our Gala!
(Tickets on sale under our events page!)

Duke is the first of four pups being paired through a connection with Mike, a fellow Marine, who came to us through another great friend and supporter of 22Mohawks, Chuck Taylor.

These connections run deep.

A lot happens behind the scenes to bring these pairings together. Calls are made, miles are driven, doors are opened, time is made and people show up for one another. We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who continues to go the extra mile to make it happen.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring John and Duke together, and to Rally for Paws for sponsoring our Pups Program this year and helping make these pairings possible!

Last week, we had the honor of giving Army Veteran Matt, his wife Jillian, and daughter Emma one of the best wedding gifts and newest additions to their family, K9 Charlie! 🐕

Matt is a former Black Hawk pilot and infantryman, and we’re incredibly excited to welcome him and his family into the 22Mohawks community!

Jillian also has a passion for singing and will be performing the National Anthem at this year’s 22Mohawks Gala, A Night to Honor!

Matt, Jillian, Emma, and Charlie, welcome to the 22Mohawks Family. We’re honored to have you as part of this community and can’t wait to watch this next chapter unfold. 🇺🇸🐾
