THE AMERICA’S VETDOGS MISSION

To help those who have served our country honorably live with dignity and independence.
____________________________________________________

    • America’s VetDogs® is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that serves the needs of disabled veterans from all eras who have honorably served our country.  VetDogs provide guide dogs for individuals who are blind or have low vision; hearing dogs for those who have lost their hearing later in life; service dogs for those with other physical disabilities; facility dogs as part of the rehabilitation process in military and VA hospitals, and PTSD service dogs to help mitigate the effects of PTSD in an effort to provide the emotional and physical support needed.
    • In 2015, VetDogs expanded its programs to include first responders, including fire, police, and emergency medical personnel.
  • America’s VetDogs® began in 2003 as a project of the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind to consolidate and increase our outreach to veterans of all eras.  In 2006, it became a separate 501(c)(3) corporation.
