SPCP Helps Veterans
One of those recipients was a retired, disabled United States Marine.
Branden Hill suffers from PTSD and anxiety.
He served in Afghanistan during his time with the Marine Corps.
He now has a 2 year old black lab named Zeke who was registered in September as Branden’s new service dog.
Branden says it was recommended that he try getting a service dog and says he’s been more than helpful to him.
“He helps with my surrounding areas. Knowing my surroundings. He always has my back. My front. He can tell where danger is coming from and he alerts me.

Service Paws of Central Pennsylvania is a non-profit organization serving the area to help finance service dogs to those who need them, and are hoping to reach more individuals in the local area.
SPCP serves the area of Clearfield, Jefferson, Indiana, Centre Blair, Bedford, Cambria, Fulton, Huntingdon, Clinton, Fayette, Mifflin, Westmoreland, and Somerset counties. They are specifically hoping to reach more people near the Clearfield/Jefferson area, both to help with obtaining service dogs, and to serve on their board.
SPCP was founded by Leslie Kelly in 2011. Kelly became hard of hearing from a head injury, then totally deaf at 34 years old. This led her to getting her first hearing dog, after which she started giving presentations in her community about service dogs and their importance to those with a disability.
