Specialty Dogs by and for First RespondersSpecialty Dogs by and for First RespondersSpecialty Dogs by and for First Responders

A 501(c)3 California Corporation 


Blue Line Dogs is a Therapy Dog training and certifying organization for First Responders   

Blue Line Dogs - A Partner in Community Support

Blue Line Dogs is a volunteer Canine Consultant to the Veterans Administration Puppies Assisting Service Members(PAWS) Program for the VA Greater Los Angeles Health Care.  

OUR MISSION

Blue Line Dogs

The Mission of Blue Line Dogs is to recruit, train and deploy Therapy Dog teams for the benefit of First Responders.  We also educate First Responders and the Public as to the need for and the importance of, the use, training and laws in the use of Therapy Dog teams in First Responder Wellness Programs. 


We raise funds for the procurement, training, maintenance and support of our volunteer dog teams by various activities including conducting  training classes, advice and direction for canine programs, public education and the sales of morale merchandise.


In the context of these general purposes, this is accomplished through, but shall not be limited to, outreach, donations, education, advocacy and grants.


Blue Line Dogs is a training and certifying organization for the First Responder Agencies that we service via an Memorandum of Agreement.

  We also provide vetted and trained Therapy Dog Teams to outside agencies requesting services via mutual aid.  

Benefits of a Therapy Dog Program

Persons in crisis often shut down emotionally and stop thinking clearly. 


The presence of a dog, and especially physical contact with one, can help calm a person, which allows them to think more clearly. They are then in a better position to communicate their needs.  


Research indicates that interactions with dogs can temporarily affect the release of various neurotransmitters in the brain; levels of oxytocin (linked with bonding) and dopamine (involved in the reward-motivation system) are increased, while cortisol levels (an immunosuppressant associated with stress) are decreased. 


Studies have shown that stress reduces productivity.  These studies have also shown that a therapy dog’s loving boost can help increase productivity as the stress diminishes.


Common sense and more than a few studies have proven that spending time with animals produces marked improvements in humans, affecting the physical, mental, emotional and social aspects of their well-being.

Partnership with First Responers

Blue Line Dogs partners with Local Law Enforcement, Fire Department and other First Responders via the Therapy Dog Program (TDP) at no cost to the agency.  


The Therapy Dog Program (TDP) is designed to reduce stress, provide comfort and affection to First Responders and associated agency employees that may benefit with the presence of a Therapy Dog Team (TDT) without creating a negative impact on the work environment or disruption to agency operations for the Health, Morale and Welfare of Department personnel 


This process is conducted by providing managed canine visits to the workplace during crisis debriefings sessions, or as a pre-emptive measure as part of a wellness program.  Providing on-scene crisis interventions, assistance in survival and comfort needs of victims, witnesses or First Responders of stressful, traumatic or other catastrophic situations


The program limitations are based on therapeutic needs of involved persons, tactical considerations, deployment of personnel and feasibility of success of their presence. 

Call to Service

Blue Line Dogs teams assigned to the Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and Vernon Police Department were called up for service at the Los Angeles Area fires.

  These teams provide moments of mental health.


  The visits include the Los Angeles City Emergency Operations Center, Communication Dispatch Centers, the Palisades staging area, Zuma Beach Command Post, National Guard Palisades base camp, and Los Angeles County Emergency Operations Bureau.
