Metro woman starts program to train therapy dogs and help domestic violence victims

OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok (KFOR) — One metro woman has a goal to train rescue dogs to become therapy or service dogs for domestic violence victims. It’s something she’s been passionate about for a long time and now wants to help in any way she can.

“The world becomes less scary when they have a dog to share that experience with, said Kennedy Rinderer who founded the Canine Impact Foundation.

Kennedy Rinderer has been a professional dog trainer for nine years working with domestic violence victims and their dogs.

After researching what was next and how she can continue to help, ideas started flowing in her brain.

“Why not do it at all and just start my own thing and do everything I can to not only help all of our dogs that are getting euthanized daily, but also to help victims,” said Rinderer.

Rinderer has a special passion for domestic violence victims and therapy dogs.
