Even Heroes Need Heroes
We are committed to uniting service dogs with military veterans. We do this by generating awareness of the benefits of service dogs, and hosting fundraisers throughout the year so we can help sponsor their training. Thanks to the continuous generosity of our pet parents and community supporters, we're making an impact.
We're honored to highlight our furry, four-legged heroes who have graduated from training as loyal, hardworking companions for the brave men and women who served our country. It's hard work to become a service dog for a veteran and only the best make the cut. The need for service dogs among veterans is great and with your support, we hope to sponsor many more.
MEET OUR SERVICE DOGS
Patriot
Paws Assisting Veterans (PAVE)
Patriot is our 1st sponsored Service Dog for a Veteran through our Dogtopia Foundation partnership with Paws Assisting Veterans (PAVE).
We started raising funds for our 1st Service Dog when we opened our doors in 2021 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 March 2022.
We selected PAVE as our partner based on their mission committed to reducing this devastating statistic and helping Veterans to live a fulfilled life with the support of their PAVE service dog. PAVE provides service dogs free of charge to their Veterans, as well as lifetime support for their Veterans and service dogs.
We were assigned Patriot in March 2022 and they have been in training for roughly 11 months. PAVE shared Patriot's progress and many stages of his training!
