Programs

Last year we were able to place and train 14 service dogs with those in need. We continue to grow our community offering support and training for continued growth and help. With every great cause comes the fire and of a story. This emboldens and stirs in the soul, something untold. It drives the action beyond our own selfish desires. 

If you are a veteran or first responder who is interested in applying for a PTSD service dog, please review the following information to determine if you meet our eligibility requirements.  Our service dog for PTSD program serves veterans with combat-related PTSD and first-responders with work-related PTSD.
