Halley Crumb, founder of Retraining the Village nonprofit saw the powerful effects that her dog, Princess, had on the men in transition at the East Palo Alto recovery residence.
The positive impact she saw her dog have on those men is why Halley is devoted to offering the first pet-friendly, Back To Basics – Medication Assistance Recovery Program in central California..
