Canine Therapy for First Responders, Inc (CTFFR Atlantic) provides this program at no cost to our community heroes by actively fundraising with local community businesses for their support of Napoleon and his work, engaging private citizens, and ongoing continual fundraising.
As a non-funded agency, it is truly the collective communities and their support of our many First Responders that support the costs to deliver the program.
When you see Napoleon in the community say hi to him and the handlers who make our community safe.
