“No one should have to choose between getting sober and keeping their dog.”

I’ve been sitting with an idea for a long time, and now that I’m realizing the need, I finally feel ready to say it out loud.

In May I’ll have 6 years sober. I wouldn’t be where I’m at without recovery—or without my Dad. He got sober first, and when he had 6 months, he helped get me into recovery. A few years later, he relapsed, and ultimately his disease won, and he drank himself to death.

After he passed, I was deeply depressed and struggling to find joy again. My dad was such an amazing person who would do anything for anyone. We were very close & the loss of him hit me deep. To get myself out of the house, I started walking dogs at the local shelter. On my first day, the very first dog I ever walked was named Timmy. My dad’s name was Tim.

I later found out that Timmy was euthanized that same day, due to space, and stress-related behaviors. I was the last person to walk him.

You can’t tell me my dad didn’t put Timmy in my path for a reason. That moment never left me.

Since then, I’ve seen firsthand how many people want to go to inpatient treatment—but don’t—because they have nowhere safe for their dog to go. And when that happens, dogs often end up surrendered to already overcrowded shelters… and some don’t make it out. Or the person never gets the help they need, in order to prevent that fate for their dog, and they end up overdosing and the dog ends up homeless, at the shelter, and/or euthanized anyways. It’s a vicious cycle.

So here’s the idea:
I’m exploring starting a 501(c)(3) nonprofit called Timmy’s Hope—a temporary foster program for dogs whose owners are entering inpatient addiction treatment. The goal is simple: keep dogs out of shelters, help people get the help they deserve, and reunite them when treatment is complete.

Helping the human helps the dog.
Helping the dog helps the human.
And it helps reduce shelter intake and save lives.

Before I take the next big steps, I want to know—would you support something like this?
Whether that’s through fostering, volunteering, sharing, or just believing in the mission.

If this resonates with you, please comment or message me. Even a simple “yes, this matters” would mean more than you know. 💛

Thank you for reading. Thank you for being part of my story. And thank you for helping me turn loss into hope.
