Who are we and what we will be doing?

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.

Two things that easily express these concepts are “man’s best friend” and the “members of our armed forces”.

The “Unconditional Love” that Rex, Ricardo’s best friend “dog”, displayed by saving his life on two occasion and the “Sacrifice” of the members of our armed forces, are the reasons that LOVE ME LIKE A DOG Inc Non-profit Public Charity Organization, where donors, can deduct their contributions 100%, under IRC Section 170, and according to IRS section 2055, 2106, or 2522 are qualified to receive tax-deductible bequests, devises, transfers and gifts, based at 3441 Braeburn Cir 48108 in Ann Arbor MI – USA, was established.

                                                     

                      

 

 

WAR HEROES “VETERANS”

The organization aims to leverage the personal life experience of its founder Ricardo Suassuna, who has single handed financed this project.

Ricardo Suassuna, CEO of “Love Me Like a Dog Inc.“, will be traveling across the United States, visiting as many states as possible to raise funds and promote awareness about the needs of those who sacrificed for the freedom of all Americans, our War Heroes “veterans”. Some of them were able to return home, despite being hurt physically, emotionally and their children distressed by their military parent’s commitment to our liberty. Other American children, many with a variety of medical conditions and disorders, including blindness, who could use support from a “Service” or a “Guide” dog; a man’s best friend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PRISON SERVICE DOG TRAINING PROGRAMS:

Supporting the Michigan Department of Corrections, Oklahoma Mabel Bassett Correctional Facility “Dogs of Lexington” and other facilities across the USA with service dog training programs led by qualified inmates. In partnership with organizations like Paws With A Cause, Leader Dogs for the Blind, Paws For Life K9 (in California), and local animal shelters, these programs train dogs for PTSD service, emotional support therapy, guiding, first responder assistance, or basic obedience. The initiative benefits inmates, facility staff, communities, and, most importantly, the dogs themselves.

 

 

Additionally, “Love Me Like a Dog Inc.” hopes to provide each inmate with a free copy of the “Dog Treats Cookbook – Health & Safety”, just published, offering guidance on the care, nutrition, and health of their canine trainees, ensuring these future best friends receive the best possible life. The recipient of a trained dog will also receive a copy of the book.

 

We hope and pray for our year around across the country traveling, and with the kindness of organizations such yours, will make it possible for Love Me Like a Dog Inc., to accomplish its important mission.  What we want to do is very simple; give back and have you become part of it. It is going to make you feel better for the rest of your life. FREEDOM ISN’T FREE.

We are confident that you will find joy when you see the USA flag from this day forward, knowing that you are a part of this gratitude project. We will promote and advertise your organization everywhere that we travel and are featured in all events and media.

All contributions are 100% tax deductible and approved by the IRS.

• Raise funds to help our War Heroes “veterans” in need but can’t afford the cost of a well-trained four-legged companion, either as a “Service Dog” or as a “Guide Dog”. Having a companion like that would allow them to once again, live with pride and self-reliance. Not only does a “Service” or a “Guide” dog provide support with daily activities, it provides the motivation to tackle everyday challenges, that we know is plenty and many times very overwhelming.

“SERVICE, SUPPORT OR A GUIDE DOG”

A “service dog” is trained to help those with physical or hearing disabilities by alerting deaf and hearing-impaired individuals to a variety of household sounds or by assisting in the performance of a wide variety of tasks depending on need and training (e.g., balance, retrieving, or pulling a wheelchair, etc.).

A “support dog”, as an (ESA) Emotional Support Animal, provides a therapeutic benefit (e.g., emotional support, comfort, companionship) to a person with a mental health or psychiatric disability (such as a serious mental health condition) etc.

A “guide dog” is trained to assist blind and visually impaired people by avoiding obstacles.

There are so many people out there in need of one of them; our veterans “War Heroes” who suffer from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), which include panic attacks, fears, flashbacks (combat phobias), social and anti-social emotional issues and also some sensory dysfunctions, among other traumas and their children, could benefit from a “Support dog”.

Our American children, many of them with a variety of medical conditions and disorders, including blindness, could use support from a “Service” or a “Guide” dog; a man’s best friend.

Service dogs are also capable to calming down the veteran and others, helping them to recover faster by normalizing their heart rate and blood pressure.

OUR COMMITMENT;

Until that becomes a reality in America, the organization “Like Love Me Like a Dog Inc.”, will be on the road, social media, television and all other avenue of communication, working very hard and fighting to provide to all members of our armed forces a Service, Support or a Guide Dog, whatever is the case may be.  One of the organization’s objectives is to provide a new approach to the existential problems befuddling veterans and individuals with special needs, who could benefit from a therapeutic support dog.

• Raise funds to help small organizations, who are passionate just like us working for the well-being of the dogs in America.
• We would like to be able to help these groups of people like Danny Robertshaw and Ron Danta in South Carolina, willing to put aside their personal life and dedicate 100% to the cause or someone like Michele and Jeff Allen, a couple from Southampton who created a dog hospice and sanctuary in their house. They received an award for their kindness;” Best of Animal kind Award”. “Men’s best Friend”.   We love men’s best friends unconditionally not just for the enjoyable moments and their cute puppy eyes, but for what they can do to us humans, by bringing balance, helping and teaching us how to love.

            “Unconditional love is not beyond us”

             Stephen C. Rose

Beyond the support for our veterans and individuals with special needs, the organization seeks to ensure the optimum wellbeing of dogs in the United States. It is not a hidden fact that despite the positives which grace the presence of dogs in most homes and communities, they still get unkind treatments by individuals who do not deserve them.

We understand the need for dogs to be properly taken care of, which is why we hope to help those who work very hard to see the welfare of every dog,

As we spread our mission across the USA, the CEO Ricardo Suassuna, would like to help programs that use shelter dogs, even without any training to help someone if end up being a perfect fit as it was for Ricardo S.

 Ricardo was saved by a shelter dog “REX” with no training at all and that is what makes them so special. They have the ability to sense what a smell represents happiness, anger, worry, sadness, medical conditions or even the sense of defeat/hopeless, which was Ricardo’s case at the time, waking up to him at 2:30 AM, when Rex sense that something it was wrong, as his blood sugar (glucose) level became lower than the standard range; Hypoglycemia.

Besides helping a lot of people, the program would free some dogs from shelters as the data shows more than 6 million pets enter those facilities across the US every year.
