Thank you @BabyDogeCoin for helping us save two lives — a #rescuedog & a #veteran . 🐾 Their generosity has funded a new kennel in our Davis Family Mega Kennel, allowing us to rescue and train more dogs for veterans in need.

Roughly 90% of our Service Dogs come from shelters or are owner-surrendered. Instead of a life of abandonment or euthanasia, they are given a new purpose. With each graduate pair, we save two lives; we rescue the dog, and the dog rescues the Warrior.

Army #veteran Molly was experiencing severe anxiety, depression & panic attacks, but once Greeley entered her life everything changed. Now, she can go where she wants — crowded stores, sports games — knowing she's got her #ServiceDog by her side.

Meet Duncan, Service Dog-in-training. Duncan is always excited to go to work and slips his head right into his vest with his tail wagging. He is always such a happy dog and wants to please his trainer and make the right choices!
