“Life Changing Service Dogs for Veterans” – it’s all in our name. It’s in our blood, it’s in our soul, to help our veterans by placing them in the care of a medical service dog that went through an extensive training program (cost $25,000).

All dogs are special, but ours are even more so, which is why we’re offering them a home, and place them in the care of some of the most deserving people, our veterans, who were always ready to sacrifice themselves for our safety and wellbeing.

We donate our dogs to deserving people, because the aftermath of war comes with deep wounds, physical, mental and/or emotional and the soul doesn’t escape untouched either as many come back with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Mobility issues that manifest through numerous debilitating ways. Flashbacks of the life-threatening events, antisocial behavior, feelings of detachment and having a hard time to feel like they belong, and shame and survivor guilt keep our veterans from enjoying the beauty of life and be the people they want to be. Our dogs help them cope and re-shape themselves as human beings.

The Veterans’ Administration estimates that 20 veterans commit suicide every day. No veteran who has received a service dog from our partner, Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs, Inc. (GAMSD) has committed suicide. Guardian Angels is a non-profit organization dedicated to breeding, raising, training, and then donating highly skilled service dogs for vets with physical, mental and emotional disabilities. They are the people who prepare the dogs for changing the lives of veterans.

We know we can’t do it all by ourselves. We survive and thrive and set our veterans on a journey to recovery thanks to the help and support of many donors and sponsors. Join us in helping our veterans find support and trust in the dog we pair them with.
