Adoption Organization Resources

ThunderWorks Company is committed to helping millions of dogs and their families to better cope with anxiety, fear and over-excitement problems. ThunderShirt’s gentle, constant pressure has a dramatic calming effect for most dogs and is the most simple solution available. As part of these efforts, we have partnered with Petfinder.com and the Petfinder.com Foundation to make ThunderShirts available to adoption organizations across the country.

Endorsements

Below are just a couple of the many endorsements of using ThunderShirts to help dogs available for adoption.

“We recently put a ThunderShirt on an unsocialized 5-month-old puppy that hadn’t stopped shaking since he arrived days ago. He was a big time shaker and scared of everything. We put the ThunderShirt on and instantly, in the blink of an eye, he was a new dog! Unbelievable!” ~ Nicky Ratliff, Executive Director, The Humane Society of Carroll County Westminster, MD

“At Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, we frequently use ThunderShirts with dogs who exhibit anxiety or lack confidence. It helps to ease their adjustment stress in the short-term and to reduce other anxieties over the longer-term. The ThunderShirt is so wonderful for our Sanctuary dogs, as it is lightweight, easy to put on and stays in place.” Jen Severud, CPDT-KA, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, Kanab, UT
