Real lives, real change

Veterans and assistance dogs working side by side

Behind every partnership is a veteran rebuilding confidence, connection and independence with a highly trained assistance dog at their side.

“Before my assistance dog, I could barely leave the house. Now I can walk into a café, sit with my back to the room, and know that if the anxiety spikes, she’s there to ground me. It hasn’t erased my PTSD – but it’s given me my life back in ways I never thought possible.”
