Request A Speaker

Thank you for your interest.

Thank you for your interest in inviting K9 Partners for Patriots to speak at your event. Because our staff, volunteers, and service dog teams have limited availability, all speaker requests must be submitted through this form for review.

Submitting a request does not guarantee availability, but it helps our team understand your event and determine whether we may be able to participate.

K9 Partners for Patriots Welcomes Opportunities to Educate Communities About PTSD, Veteran Mental Wellness, and the Life-Saving Role of Rescue Dogs Trained to be Service Dogs.

Inviting a member of our organization to speak at your event is a great way to learn about the important work we’re doing with veterans and service dogs at K9 Partners for Patriots.

Sharing our mission is an important part of helping the public understand the challenges veterans face and the hope that grows when a veteran and dog begin their training journey together.

K9 Partners for Patriots is not a typical service dog placement organization.

This is a Deeply Personal Journey for Each Veteran We Serve

Our Program Works Differently

We do not place pre-trained service dogs with veterans.
Veterans are matched with carefully evaluated rescue dogs and train together through a structured 6-month program under the guidance of certified trainers.
Because our model is veteran-centered and training-intensive, our veteran–dog teams do not serve as public demonstration teams and are not available for ongoing speaking circuits.

Participation in events is optional for our program veterans. We honor their comfort, privacy, and availability.

Topics We Can Speak About

Our team is happy to speak on subjects directly aligned with our mission.

Understanding PTSD, TBI, and MST in the veteran community
The impact of rescue dogs paired with veterans
The 6-month K9 Partners for Patriots training model
The bond between a veteran and their service dog
Mental wellness and the importance of community support
Nonprofit mission, rescue partnerships, and veteran outreach

Speaker Availability

Speaking engagements are reviewed based on:

Alignment with our mission
Staff availability
Location, travel distance, or virtual format
Sensitivity to the needs and comfort levels of the veterans we serve

Please know that availability is limited and not all requests can be accommodated.

Service Dog Teams

We ask that all event organizers understand:

Our graduates are not official spokespeople for the organization.
Participation is voluntary and based on their personal comfort and schedule.
We do not “assign” veteran–dog teams to outside organizations.
We prioritize events that respect the emotional and mental well-being of our veterans.

If your event specifically requires a veteran–dog team, please note this in the form. We will review the request, but we cannot guarantee availability.
