About Us

Our mission is changing lives one dog at a time

What We Do

Faithful Fields 501(c)(3) was founded with a simple goal in mind--connect dogs and people who need each other for mutual support. We believe that a warm hug from a furry companion can change the life of anyone currently suffering through hard times.  No matter how young or old you may be, Faithful Fields is here to ensure that anyone in need has the opportunity to welcome a dog into their life. Founded by a committed group of dog lovers, Faithful Fields is headquartered in beautiful Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. If you're seeking a new best friend or want to contribute to the cause, get in touch with us today. 

The Faithful Fields Team

When a dog is in distress, we step in to care for them. When a dog needs a home, we find them a loving companion. When there's a human in need of a helping hand (or paw), we're ready to step in and help. 

As lifelong dog lovers and trainers, the Faithful Fields team is a diverse and skilled group of individuals seeking to make the world a better place.

Geraldine Schneider

President
I’m excited to be a part of Faithful Fields to bring joy to others in need, whether it’s an emotional support dog, a service dog or just a companion. I know how important the love and companionship of a dog can be, losing a husband to Parkinson’s disease. During my time as his caregiver, I got my Ragusa and worked with Faithful K9 Trainer and loved their method. Due to my experience of being a nanny I chose to become licensed as an emergency & respite foster parent using Ragusa to be an emotional support dog for kids. Faithful Fields is now blessed to be partnered with Faithful K9 Trainer to help rescue dogs and train them to reach their full potential to be paired as that special companion.

As a mom of 3, I have seen firsthand the value a dog brings to these kids. I've experienced my daughters talking to our dog about how they are feeling or going over and getting a hug from him. I am excited to help execute the vision of Faithful Fields. Together, we are going to bring joy, companionship, responsibility, and community to those who need it most and I couldn’t be more excited to see it come together!

Once you're paired with a pup, Faithful Fields stays in close contact with you to ensure both you and your dog live in happy harmony. Owning a dog can be a new challenge for many people, that's for sure. There's a whole list of new responsibilities to keep up with. With the support and training from Faithful Fields, you and your dog will be able to grow together and support each other on this new journey in life. 
We belive in service, support, and companionship. Looking to get connected with a dog? Looking to rehome a dog with Faithful Fields? Just need more information about the organization? Get in contact with us today and we'll see how we can help.
