HELP A VETERAN

Arizona Veterans

Arizona has 96,000 disabled veterans – 35% of them have serious disabilities.

There are thousands of Arizona veterans that are disabled after returning from duty. These veterans need help adjusting back to normal life. Our Dogs4Vets program involves training the veteran’s own dog so they become a certified Service Dog. If they do not have a dog, we advocate the use of rescues.

Helping Our Hometown Heros

What we do…

How can a service dog help Veterans with mental he

How can a service dog help Veterans with mental health conditions?

Not all disabilities are visible. Depression and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are very prevalent within the Veteran population. A service dog can be a beneficial addition to a Veteran’s treatment possibly along with therapy and medication.

Service dogs are trained to perform specific tasks like reminding a person to take their prescribed medications or calm a person during an anxiety attack.

Dogs require care through grooming, feeding, and walks. It gives the Veteran a companion and a responsibility to take care of. Going for walks can also encourage the Veteran to leave their home which, on occasion could lead to interacting with people. A service dog may help a cautious Veteran to interact better with strangers or deal with crowded public spaces.

These companions can provide unconditional love and have been helpful to so many Veterans already.

Sergeant Stubby was the unofficial mascot of the 1

Sergeant Stubby was the unofficial mascot of the 102nd Infantry Regiment during WWI. He served for 18 months and participated in 17 battles on the Western Front. He saved his regiment from surprise attacks, found and comforted the wounded, and alerted fellow troops to duck for cover when he heard the whine of incoming artillery shells.

After coming home from the war, Stubby became a celebrity! Stubby has been called the most decorated war dog of the Great War and the only dog to be nominated and promoted to sergeant through combat

Facility dogs are similar to therapy dogs; however

Facility dogs are similar to therapy dogs; however, they are highly trained to work full-time with any handler in a facility setting. They work with counselors, therapists, psychologists, and rehabilitation therapists. Facility dogs work in assisted living facilities, special education classes, medical rehabilitation programs, and courtrooms. Their role is to increase patient motivation, encourage participation in activities, builds trust with facility workers, and increases social interaction.

Facility Dogs do not have public access rights like service dogs but can work inside the facility where they are approved.
