Secret Keepers - Service Dogs

09/01/2026

September is Su***de Awareness Month.
For those who spend their lives showing up on everyone else’s worst days, asking for help can sometimes be the hardest call to make.

First responders and members of our military are exposed to trauma, loss, stress, and situations most people will never experience. Too often, they carry the weight of those experiences quietly.

At Secret Keepers Service Dogs, we want to help change that. Our mission is to provide specially trained service dogs to first responders and military members—dogs trained to support individuals living with PTSD and help bring independence, confidence, connection, and companionship back into their lives. But our mission goes beyond providing a dog. We want every firefighter, law enforcement officer, EMT, paramedic, dispatcher, veteran, and service member to know:
You do not have to be the strong one all the time. You do not have to suffer in silence. You do not have to keep your secrets alone.

Checking on someone matters. Starting the conversation matters. Asking for help matters. And sometimes, four paws can help someone take that first step toward healing.

If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Alpha’s on duty!

We got to spent some time hanging out with the firefighters at Prattville Fire Department today — getting plenty of attention, making new friends, and reminding us exactly why we’re so excited about this next chapter for Secret Keepers.

This visit is part of our new Critical Incident Response Program, created to bring support directly to the first responders who spend every day showing up for everyone else.
Through this program, our dogs won’t only respond to stations and departments following critical incidents. They’ll also make regular station visits — sometimes just popping in to say hello, spend time with the crew, and provide a little four-legged stress relief.
Because support shouldn’t only show up after the hard calls. Sometimes it looks like a quiet moment in a recliner, a few moments of distraction around the station, or simply having a dog there who asks nothing of you.
We want our first responders to know that Secret Keepers is here on the hard days, the good days, and all the ordinary days in between.

Thank you to Prattville Fire Department for welcoming us into the station today!

A puppy donation is never “just a puppy.” It is the beginning of hope, healing, and a future partnership that can change—and even save a life.

We are incredibly grateful to Phil Gray at Covey Flush Kennels for his generous donation of these two beautiful puppies!

It all starts here—over the coming months, these puppies will grow, learn, and begin their training as they take their first steps toward becoming service dogs for a first responder or military member in need. Every puppy donated allows us to put more of our resources directly toward training, veterinary care, equipment, and ultimately placing these dogs with the people who need them—at no cost to the recipient.

To Phil and Covey Flush Kennels, thank you for believing in our mission, believing in these puppies, and trusting Gods direction.

We can’t wait for everyone to follow along and see what these two little ones accomplish. Their Secret Keepers journey starts now.
