The Human-Canine Alliance (TH-CA)
Two crises. One overlooked solution.
60 million Americans struggle with mental health. 340,000 rescue dogs are euthanized every year. Both systems are overburdened, underperforming, and wildly expensive.
What if dogs—trained, matched, and integrated through Social Prescriptions—could help solve both?
The TH-CA Podcast explores how trained rescue dogs are a cost-effective, scalable, organic mental health intervention hiding in plain sight. These dogs aren’t just pets—they’re untapped resources for emotional support, social connection, and daily structure.
While the U.S. spends $282B/year on mental illness and $2B/year on shelter systems, TH-CA offers a third path:
✅ A natural, drug-free solution
✅ A second chance for rescue dogs
✅ A new model for care that’s community-backed and tech-powered
Through AI-driven matchmaking, targeted training, and real human-canine connection, we’re building a system that curbs crisis—not just treats symptoms.
Plus, go behind the scenes in “Real Life Business” segments to hear what it really takes to build a hybrid nonprofit-for-profit org from scratch—and disrupt two major industries along the way.
If you care about mental health, rescue dogs, or bold new ideas in public health, this podcast is for you.
Let’s flip the script. Let’s turn America’s Human-PILL Bond into a Human-CANINE Bond. 🐾

Here's the pitch.
Every day, millions battling anxiety, depression, and loneliness are handed a prescription bottle What if doctors could prescribe a dog trained for a person's specific needs before they prescribed a pill?
We are building an app that positions dogs as evidence-based solutions to mental illness.
Through AI-powered compatibility matching, the app connects people in need, dogs in need, and specialized training. creating a new model of care that empowers [00:02:00] personal health and restores community balance.
Right now, seven out of 10 Americans with a mental health condition depend on prescription medication.
Therapist wait lists are an average of two months. And treatments are often costly and have serious side effects.
America. It is time we start demanding prescriptions that offer long-term measurable impact.
dogs have proven to provide emotional and physical support, reduce medication intake, and increase quality of life.
And yet we euthanize them at a rate of 1000 dogs per day. Due to lack of physical space and perceived societal need.
Our ultimate goal at the Human-Canine Alliance is to change how society values canines, elevating them from being just pets to [00:03:00] recognized as essential partners in human health and wellbeing.
My background includes 20 years of experience in marketing communications, digital strategy. Which is why I launched The Human-Canine Alliance with a podcast.
And why I'm here looking for $75,000 to launch the prototype of an AI-powered matchmaking app because I have seen how technology educates, influences and drives change.
