Working Dogs for Vets

Saving Lives at Both Ends of the Leash

We rescue, train and pair service dogs with Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine and disabled military veterans. We provide training, supplies, school, classes, retreats and more. Service dogs reduce suicide. We've served more than 3,000 dog/veteran teams. Your donation saves lives at both ends of the leash!
