When Hope Meets the Right Partner
A Rescue Dog and a Veteran Make a Powerful TeamAt K9 Partners for Patriots, we pair veterans battling PTSD, TBI, or MST with rescued dogs and guide them through training to become service dog teams—restoring purpose, strength, and freedom.
What Your Support Makes Possible
Veterans In Our Program
Rescue Dogs Saved
Graduated Service Dog Teams
Every Number is a Life Changed—and a Future Reclaimed.
Every Hero Deserves A Path to Healing
Veterans with PTSD, traumatic brain injury, or military sexual trauma often feel isolated and unsupported. At K9 Partners for Patriots, we empower them to train their own dog or a rescue dog into a service dog—restoring confidence, connection, and independence.
One Mission. Two Ways to Make an Impact.
Need A Service Dog?
If you’re a veteran battling PTSD, TBI, or MST, we’re here to help—at no cost to you. Our program pairs you with a rescued dog and guides you through a life-changing journey.

A Bond Forged in Healing
“I am no longer in a dark place. I am well and I’m alive.”
“I don’t know where I would be today. I was in a very dark place and couldn’t see any way out or any light at the end of the tunnel. I learned about K9PFP from a person who has benefited from the program. I was partnered with my Service Dog, Bruno, and after much hard work and dedication, we graduated from the program in April 2023. I am no longer in a dark place, and I am well and alive. I pray that many veterans find their way to K9P4P.

Do Hotels Have to Accommodate Service Dogs?
A hotel guest with a disability who uses a service animal must be provided the same opportunity to reserve any available room at the hotel as other guests without disabilities.
Advocates Fight Against Service Dog Fraud
Misrepresentation of Service Dogs harms the disabled, confuses the public, and affects the reputation of legitimate service dog users. Fake service animals pose a danger to the public and genuine service dogs.
