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.

K9s for Warriors
Dear Amazing Friends,
Woof! It’s Radar here, your squishy, goofy lab, and I have so much to share with you about my training journey! First, I want to let you know that I weathered the recent hurricane just fine, thanks to Camp K9s. They made sure I was safe and comfortable by sending me to a lovely foster home for five days. My foster took great care of me, and I felt cozy and secure, even when the winds were howling outside.
Staying with my foster family was such a treat! Not only did they provide a safe space, but it also gave me the chance to learn what it's like to live in a real home. I got to explore new smells and make friends with their pets. It was like a mini-vacation filled with love and fun! This experience is super valuable for my training, as it helps me adapt to different environments and prepares me for my future role with my veteran. I can already imagine all the adventures we’ll have together in our own home someday!
Being at the foster home was a blast! I enjoyed snuggling on the couch and even had my own little spot to curl up after a day of play. It really helped me understand what it means to be part of a family. I can’t wait to bring that happiness to my future veteran! Knowing that I’ll be able to provide comfort and companionship keeps me motivated every day.
As much as I love to explore, I’m working hard on controlling what my trainer calls “my puppy tendencies”. The world is full of distractions—squirrels, leaves, and all those amazing smells! But my wonderful trainer is helping me focus on my training. She teaches me that staying attentive and responding to her cues is super important for the work I’ll do one day. I want to be the best partner possible, and I know that learning to concentrate is a big part of that!
Thank you for believing in me and supporting my journey. Every step I take brings me closer to being a service dog for a brave veteran, and I’m so grateful for your kindness. With your help, I’ll be ready to make a real difference in someone’s life. Until next time, keep wagging and spreading the love!
Paws and licks,
Radar 🐾
