Our mission is to provide service dog training and support for all veterans with military related Post-Traumatic Stress. Our vision is to improve the quality of life for veterans by re-connecting them with a sense of belonging, purpose and community. We accomplish this by matching qualified veterans and dogs and then conducting a 20 week free training program with the goal to certify this veteran/canine service dog team. The journey is challenging, but in the end we have a strong and confident veteran and a loyal forever service dog. Time and again we have seen these veterans flourish in their community and family.
