Kevin Michael is our 3rd sponsored Service Dog for a Veteran through our Dogtopia Foundation and our 1st with K9’s for Warriors 

We started raising funds for our 3rd Service Dog in in April of 2023 with dedicated daycare events and fundraisers to reach our goal. It was challenging at times but our Pet Parents and Dogtopia Foundation supporters stepped up to help us reach our goal of $6,000 by July of 2023.

We selected K9’s for Warriors as our partner based on their mission for adopting adult dogs from Animal Shelters to train as life partners for Veterans. We were driven to the organization based on 2 things: 1) Saving a shelter dog to give them a strong purpose in life and 2) Success rate for transition from shelter dog to service dog.

We were assigned Kevin Michael in November 2023  and they have been in training for roughly four months. K9’s for Warriors shared Kevin Michael‘s progress and many stages of his training.
