Mary Hooker

    Mary helps first responders with PTS and agencies connect with FRK9 so they can receive life-changing dogs.

    I’m a retired first responder, and while everyone’s experience is different, I understand the culture and the weight that can come with this work. Dogs matter because they break barriers, offer judgment-free support — often in ways words can’t — and they walk alongside us when the work gets heavy. If you’re exploring whether a dog might be the right fit for you or  your agency, I’m here to have that conversation — no pressure, just an honest place to start
