Rescue. Train. Transform: Inside The Human Canine Alliance

Stacie introduces The Human Canine Alliance (THCA), an initiative founded in 2025 to revolutionize the societal role of rescue dogs by turning them into companions for people who could benefit from a trained canine. THCA plans to start by focusing on the 61 million people considered to be disabled in America. The podcast will serve as a live documentary detailing the process of building THCA, which combines grassroots partnerships and modern technology to match rescue dogs with compatible humans. Stacie discusses the various roles canines play in society, and highlights the underutilization of rescue dogs. Stacie reveals THCA's plan to develop an APP that matches rescue dogs with individuals in need based on compatibility, with support from community fundraising. She is actively building relationships with rescue centers and trainers to execute this plan, aiming to form working relationships and document the journey through this podcast.
