"Training the BEST that's experienced the worst"
Dog Donations
Have a dog that you would like to donate to our program? We pull 99% of our dogs from kill shelters around Texas. We do have responsible breeders that so graciously donate dogs to our program! Kill shelters and Breeders have different requirements put in place for health, age, and size requirements. These are in place to ensure we provide veterans the best service dog in training possibly possible. Being a service dog can be extremely stressful at times so we start them early!
ALL SERVICE DOGS WILL BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED AT THE APPROPRIATE AGE!
Think your puppy has what it takes to become a service dog for a veteran? Please contact us if your dog fits our requirements!
