Everyone Matters at Matters Ville!

From Veterans to Wolfdogs We All Matter!

By Emily Bedel November 24, 2025

In August, my husband and I had the privilege of meeting some incredible individuals and animals at a unique nonprofit organization. 

The founder, Drew Robertson, shared the inspiring story of how his nonprofit came to be.
After experiencing his best friend taking his own life, Drew created this organization to support veterans with PTSD as he saw there was a huge need for it.

The nonprofit's approach is centered around animal-assisted therapy, working with wolfdogs that have their own unique needs and stories. These animals are learning to trust humans again, and the interactions between them and the veterans are truly special.

The organization offers various opportunities for volunteers, including a chance to work towards living in a tiny home on the property.
As a nonprofit, they rely on support from the community and partner with businesses to meet their needs.

Some of their needs include:
- Medical procedures for the wolfdogs
- Locations for fundraising events
- Caterers for events
- Businesses to partner as sponsors
- Funds to support their programs
- Volunteers to help with daily tasks and events

If you're interested in supporting veterans or wolfdogs, this organization offers a unique opportunity to give back to the community.

I highly recommend going and visiting one of their locations in person for yourself, you'll get the true feelings and passion behind what they do!
