Saving Lives at Both
Ends of the Leash
A Service Dog doesn’t just change the Warrior’s life. It saves it.
Beyond our dedication to serving Veterans, we go the extra mile by saving rescue dogs, giving them a second chance and new purpose as life-changing Service Dogs. Since 2011, we’ve rescued more than 2,500 dogs from 31 states across the country. As demand for our Service Dogs continues to rise, we also collaborate with select purpose-bred and rescue providers to further advance our mission.
We rescue the dog. The dog rescues the Warrior. Each pair represents two lives saved – a Veteran and rescue dog.
