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.

Bark, Bark! It’s Sport here barking at you from Camp K9, and I’m excited to tell you about my adventures this week! I had a BIG outing where my trainer and I went to the movies and guess what? It went so well!

At first, I was a little nervous, but I checked in with my trainer and he invited me onto his lap. I tried laying with him in the chair, but I wasn’t too comfortable, so I jumped down and made myself comfortable on the floor where I settled for the whole movie!

The best part? Lunchtime! My handler and I sat down in a busy spot, and I just settled right in. No fidgeting or distractions from all the people and smells around me—I just lay down, stayed comfy, and quietly waited. I made sure to show everyone that I’m learning to be calm no matter where we are.

I’m working hard and getting better each day, and I can feel how much you all are helping me get there. I couldn’t do it without your support!

Thank you for cheering me on! I’ll keep you updated on all my adventures and progress.

Bark at you again soon,
