Even Heroes Need Heroes
At Dogtopia of Redmond, we are committed to uniting service dogs with military veterans.
All too often, our veterans come home from duty with visible and invisible injuries, and it's those invisible injuries that are frequently overlooked and/or undertreated. Service dogs can dramatically reduce these issues! It's hard work to become a service dog for a veteran, and only the best make the cut.
As such, with eternal gratitude, we diligently try to serve our veterans by 1) generating awareness of the benefits of service dogs and 2) hosting fundraisers throughout the year. Because of the generosity and dedication of our Dogtopia parents and community supporters, we are able to fund the process for dogs to become exceptionally highly trained service animals for the returned men and women of our military, at no cost to the veteran.
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. Dogtopia of Redmond has raised the funds to sponsor EIGHT service dogs thus far, and we look forward to adding many, many more to our tally.
