Conversations with Rich Bennett Amy Harding and the Mission Behind Ethan’s Hope
What if healing from addiction could begin with earning the trust of a rescued dog?
In this powerful episode of Conversations with Rich Bennett, Rich and cohost Wendy Beck sit down with Amy Harding, founder of Ethan’s Hope: Paws and Hands Rescues and Recoveries. After losing her son Ethan to addiction at just 23 years old, Amy chose to carry forward the vision he had for helping people in recovery.
Ethan believed that pairing individuals struggling with addiction with hard to adopt shelter dogs could create a path toward healing for both. Today, Ethan’s Hope is doing exactly that. Participants become trainers, working with rescued dogs that have experienced trauma, building trust, learning responsibility, and helping the dogs find loving homes.
In this conversation you will learn:
• How Ethan’s vision inspired a one of a kind recovery program
• Why working with rescue dogs helps build confidence and purpose
• How addiction recovery requires more than traditional rehab programs
• The emotional bond formed between trainers and rescued dogs
• Amy’s journey of turning grief into a mission that saves lives
