Program

Service Dogs for Veterans

Helping eligible veterans access professionally trained service dogs that support greater independence, safety, and quality of life.

Veteran Support

More than placement. A working partnership.

The program is being developed to support veterans whose needs may include PTSD-related tasks, mobility assistance, TBI-related support, and other appropriate service-dog work.

Planned Support

Building the veteran-and-dog team for success.

Planned assistance extends beyond the dog itself to the training, equipment, care, and follow-up that help create a strong working partnership.
