The moment I applied, my life changed. K9s gave me hope to be able to say that I am not alone.

Rio is not only a Service Dog, but a best friend.

The pure unconditional love these Service Dogs bring to us Warriors is exactly what we need to help us get through our darkness.

I just couldn’t see anything good happening. But then Cameo came along, and she finally gave me a win. She will continue to change my life for the better forever.

Having Eagle has helped to minimize my anxiety and hypervigilance when out in public settings. Eagle helps redirect my attention to him rather than the setting I am in.

Warrior and Service Dog

I had been medically retired from the Marine Corps. I was struggling. I was on 24 pills a day, the pills were killing me. There is a way out besides the pills, besides suicide, there’s light. K9s For Warriors saves two lives. They save shelter dogs, and they save Veterans lives.

Rescue dogs make our life-saving program possible. Your generosity provides these four-legged heroes with the veterinary care, equipment, and training they need to become a life-saving tool at no cost to Veterans.

Together we save the lives of Veterans & rescue dogs.

This year, K9s For Warriors is celebrating its pairing of 1,000 Warriors with life-saving Service Dogs. Each of our Service Dogs train for six to eight months before being paired with the Warrior. There’s A LOT of tender love and care as well as thousands of hours of collective expert training.

We simply can’t do it without donors like you who care deeply for our nation’s heroes and the four-legged friends who give them their lives back.

The making of a Service Dog:
  • It costs approximately $75,000 to train each Service Dog
  • Since 2019, our dog sponsorship packages have been $25,000
  • Starting March 1, 2024, we are raising this to $30,000

This new pricing better reflects the cost of training a Service Dog, while still providing a value to our incredible supporters. New pricing will not impact any current sponsorships yet to be fulfilled.

We thank you for your continued partnership of our mission to end Veteran suicide. Together, we are saving lives at both ends of the leash.
