Veteran Service Dog Training Journey
Where Healing Begins and Independence is RestoredA 6-month program that transforms rescue dogs and veterans into life-saving service dog teams—at no cost to the veteran.

Why It Works
Unlike traditional service dog programs, we don’t hand veterans a trained service dog. We guide them to train their own, ensuring a deep, lasting connection. This approach builds trust, accountability, and long-term emotional wellness.
