About this listen
In this Real Life Business episode of The Human-Canine Alliance Podcast, Stacie connects powerful data points to show that rescue dogs are more than just pets—they’re an undervalued asset in addressing America’s mental health crisis.
With 60 million adults struggling with mental illness, suicide rates at an all time high, and wait times for professional care stretching up to six months, what if doctors could prescribe a dog—trained for an individual’s specific needs—before reaching for a pill?
Stacie breaks down how dogs offer natural, side-effect-free benefits like social connection, routine, and emotional support, challenging the status quo of mental health treatment.
Tune-in to learn how THCA aims to create a pathway to transform two industries—mental health and dog rescue—while improving countless lives in the process.
Join the movement in shifting society from a Human-Pill Bond to a Human-Canine Bond.
