Service Dogs
We’re providing trained service dogs to veterans and first responders who are overcoming trauma. Dogs sense the invisible wounds that cause debilitating nightmares, social anxiety, and bad thoughts. These life-saving companions anticipate when their heroes are being triggered and rush to provide comfort for their new best friend.

The Purpose
Service dogs improve mental health
Service dogs offer companionship and emotional support, which can alleviate symptoms of depression and loneliness in individuals. Their specialized training allows them to detect and respond to anxiety or panic attacks, providing a sense of security and calm during moments of distress.
A crucial part of healing
Service dogs are a vital role to those coping with the challenges of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health issues. Additionally, these specially trained dogs can assist with daily tasks, enhancing veterans’ independence and overall quality of life.
