Our community has been blessed with a unique and impactful service - the first ever therapy dog program in Hamilton County, led by Officer Kirchner and his Therapy Dog Oliver. This initiative has not only made history but also brought comfort and stress relief to countless individuals across our county. From schools to courthouses, even jails, the presence of these therapy dogs has proven invaluable.

Officer Kirchner and Oliver have touched many lives in their mission to provide emotional support. Their work is a testament to the power of animal-assisted therapy, which studies show can significantly reduce anxiety, depression, and fatigue (American Psychological Association).

Despite these benefits and its proven success within our community, this program is at risk of being discontinued. We cannot allow this invaluable resource to be taken away from us.

We call upon you - residents of Hamilton County - to join us in advocating for the continuation of this important program under Officer Kirchner's and Oliver's leadership. Let us ensure that our community continues benefiting from their services for years to come.
