After service, many Veterans suffer in silence — fighting wounds no one can see on the surface. Isolation, panic attacks, depression and hyper vigilance become a daily struggle.
PTSD sits in the driver’s seat, and many Veterans begin to question their place in the world they fought so tirelessly to protect.
But that’s where hope in the form of four legs takes shape.

When you take a dog’s natural gift for unconditional love and combine it with specialized Service Dog training, the result is truly lifesaving.
That’s what K9s For Warriors does.
The process is costly because it requires specialized training, veterinary care, housing and meals, as well as lifetime wraparound services.
Despite the financial cost, the program is free for Veterans in need.
