Project Halo Dogs Society was created to address a critical gap in support services, particularly in rural areas. When Alberta’s original Victim Services dog retired, the province experienced a decline in court support provided by these incredible animals. Compounded by the redesign of Victim Services, rural Alberta has seen a complete loss of dogs supporting the most vulnerable during court proceedings.

Recognizing this need, Project Halo Dogs Society was born. Our dogs and dedicated handlers volunteer their time to provide comfort, support, and even a bit of joy to individuals who need it most—whether in courtrooms or their communities. Our mission is to ensure that no one feels alone during challenging times, and we believe our four-legged friends play a pivotal role in making that happen.
