The Nation’s Largest Provider of Service Dogs for Veterans
SAVING LIVES
at Both Ends of the Leash
Determined to end Veteran suicide, K9s For Warriors provides highly-trained Service Dogs to military Veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury and/or military sexual trauma. With the majority of dogs being rescues, this innovative program allows the K9/Warrior team to build an unwavering bond that facilitates their collective healing and recovery.
The First 1,000 Warriors
A Battle Worth Fighting
Roughly 20 Veterans die by suicide every day, and over 1,000 dogs are euthanized. K9s For Warriors exists because of a fierce dedication to saving the lives of both Veterans and rescue dogs. This program is backed by scientific research and empowers Veterans who fought for our freedom to live a life of independence. Graduates of the program are able to live a life of renewed purpose and independence, that they previously did not think was possible. Many have reunited with their families, gone back to school, restored their relationships with family, and significantly reduced their medications.

Our Mission
Determined to end Veteran suicide, K9s For Warriors provides highly-trained Service Dogs to military Veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury and/or military sexual trauma.

Our proven program allows us to save the lives of rescue dogs in conjunction with saving Veterans’ lives. To date, our team has rescued more than 2,000 dogs. Giving these four-legged heroes a second chance and new purpose.
