Mission and Values
Our Commitment to Veterans…
Service Dogs that Save Lives.
Our Mission
K9 Partners for Patriots is dedicated to preventing veteran suicide and fostering hope for those battling PTSD, TBI, and MST. Through the unique bond formed while training their service dogs, we guide veterans from self-doubt to renewed confidence, promoting mental wellness through in-house counseling and reconnection in a supportive community.
Our Vision
A world where every veteran facing the challenges of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), or Military Sexual Trauma (MST) finds renewed purpose and strength.
We aspire to build a community where the specter of veteran suicide is replaced with a shared journey of hope, healing, and empowerment. We envision veterans transitioning from moments of self-doubt to a life of self-confidence and from isolation to a renewed sense of camaraderie, friendship, and family.
We strive to create a world where every veteran can thrive beyond their challenges.
