Service Dog Department

Mission:Provide service dogs to veterans with PTSD and other mental health issues.

Breakdown:The service dog department partners with other service dog organizations across the United States to provide service dogs to veterans in need. The Wounded Veterans Foundation covers the leftover cost of the dog that the other organizations do not cover or the total cost if we do not have an organization that will cover some of the cost. The veteran will then go through an application process through the organization that we are working with in order to receive the dog.
    It has been shown that service dogs can help prevent suicide, get veterans off of certain medications, and provide a special companionship to the owner. After the veteran is approved and ready to receive the dog, we will provide the following.

• A kennel or cage
• 6 months worth of food
• Leashes
• A service dog vest
