Member Testimonials - Maddie

“I joined my first semester of my freshman year. Honestly, it was the only club that really drew me in and felt connected to. I’ve dealt with my own personal issues between anxiety, depression, and emotional abuse and the only thing that ever made me feel slightly better we’re my dogs. Although I’ve never had an emotional support animal, my animals have always been my best friends. This club deals with so many different aspects of abuse and mental health and animals that it felt like the perfect fit. I love being able to socialize with so many people that have similar experiences and values and I love being able to interact with the club leaders dogs (when we were in person of course). This club has allowed me to utilize all the different resources both on and off campus, interact with things that I love, and it’s helped me through the harder aspects of life that gets thrown at us.” - Maddie
