Dallas Program Fosters Dogs While Their Owners Go To Rehab

The Dallas-based non-profit Dogs Matter was founded in 2014 after Stephen Knight decided to adopt a friend's dog when she made the decision to go to rehab. Today, Dogs Matter provides temporary foster care placement and supportive services for addicts seeking treatment all over the country. Stephen talks with Kelly and Kathy Hilton about how important dogs are to the addiction recovery process, and former addict Camille explains the impact Dogs Matter has made in her life.

This organization fostered my two dogs while I was at treatment for 60 days. Just incredible!! Forever grateful to Dogs Matter.

[@kirkygirl]

Congratulations to you for making those first and excruciatingly difficult steps. I hope you are well.

This man Stephen Knight personally fostered my dog Albie for TWO of my treatment stays-what the woman featured said was spot on, that recovery is so full of blessings but having the help so I could keep Albie was such a massive turning point for me and I can’t say that I’d currently be sober if it weren’t for this organization.

Congrulations on your sobriety!!

What a beautiful program Steven started. Incredible idea, and one that needs to grow to every place in the country. Thank you Steven!

Jade is so well behaved! What a lovely dog!

[@rogue7723]

Yeah, I think she's a Havanese. They're great dogs for novices :).

[@maryssalynnemedley8871]

Hey thats cool, one less worry to hold back their recovery. Knowing their baby is safe :)

[@kenglish4417]

Yes, the power of dogs! They're family 🐾 So delighted to see how Mr Knight has turned his experience into something positive for others. My dog is my life. Love this Foster program ❤

[@azpeach5680]

Oh my word bawling my eyes out this is such an amazing story!!!

[@carolinar4973]

What a BEAUTIFUL initiative!!! Thank you for your amazing work, guys! Animals are SO important in our lives, and what an amazing thing that you give people the time they need to get better and be better for themselves and their pups

[@vamanosninja4143]

I hope this foster program spreads throughout the country! Great idea.

[@amystowell9652]

I’ve got to say, I love this organization so much…this has been a really hard year, between being laid off from work, having to put my best friend dog down after 14 years, and then losing my dad as well, becoming an “orphan” as my mom passed in 2012, fostering Lady and Rosie has been such a joy! I’m so glad I found y’all, and I’ll support in any way possible! The healing power of dogs is amazing!

[@coolasick]

This is truly uplifting and made my day, Kelly! What a beautiful segment.

[@doradowell8394]

I met Stephen when I attended the Link Organization. He speaks the truth. Congratulations, keep up the good job.

[@osoe1989]

Amazing! Thank you for bringing this to us! I am going on 5 years sober and as an addict we will find any excuse not to get help! I am definitely going to look into getting involved!
