Lake Oswego Service Dog

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.

Glory

Service Dog Organization:

Paws Assisting Veterans (PAVE)

Glory 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 in when we opened our doors in 2020 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 November 2021.

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 Glory in November 2021 and they were in training for roughly nine months. PAVE shared Glory's progress and many stages of her training

She was placed with his Veteran, Kristy who served in the Army.
