Veterans Moving Forward provides service dogs, therapy dogs, and comfort dogs to veterans with physical and/or mental health challenges, at no cost to the veteran or their family.

As simple as the presence of a dog may be, for those vets whose physical or emotional needs overwhelm what they can do alone, that dog can make all the difference. As VMF matches vets with service dogs, they are impacting the future in incredible ways. It’s a way to give back to those who have given so much of themselves—and a way to help them move forward to a life more fully lived.

Veteran Testimonials

"If not for Jug, I would either be inpatient or dead; having committed suicide."

- De'Angelo on Jug, Service Dog

"Zamp continues to remain by my side and has been a key to my progress through the four surgical procedures I have undergone since June 23, 2021 (back). In the past I would get deeply depressed and take too many pain pills, thoughts of suicide would become dangerous. However, Zamp has changed this, while I did get somewhat depressed after the first surgery - it was nothing like previous bouts. I have been able to refrain from pain pills quicker and no longer have the suicidal thoughts pervading my thoughts."

- Doc on Zamp, Service Dog

"When a world is so full of darkness having Charlie with me brings out the sunshine."

-Nicole on Charlie, Service Dog
