More about our Veteran Support Program
Service Dogs for Veterans
We are a charitable organization committed to supporting and promoting the very best work being done in service of our veterans and the military community. One way we have expanded our reach is by providing service dogs and necessary training to veterans who have a demonstrated need. To accomplish this we support qualified service dog programs. Qualified programs match veterans with dogs and puts them in intensive training for 24 months to bond and forge new lives together. Dog and veteran are paired according to the veteran's needs, mobility, and personality, and the dog's capabilities and temperament. Approved veterans will receive a dog matched to their needs and will fully participate in the two-year training program required of service dogs. Our funding covers the cost of obtaining the dog and all of the necessary training. Your donations made using the links on this page will be earmarked specifically for our Veteran Support Program.
Companion Dogs for Veterans
