1 in 5 military Veterans suffer from PTSD, and 1 in 6 will attempt or have suicidal tendencies.
K9s For Warriors is an amazing non-profit located in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL that provides dogs rescued from shelters and trained to be service K9s to our military troops and veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress as a result of conflicts and war after 9/11.
Their philosophy is to involve the veteran in the training of their new service canine partner, allowing them the opportunity to be part of the solution to their recovery. K9s For Warrior’s academy is staffed by skilled certified canine handlers and trainers. Each academy is three weeks in length where the warrior learns the skills needed to train their own canines. They provide a service canine, training, certification, equipment, seminars, vet care, most meals, and housing- free of charge.
We are so honored to have been selected to manage the public relations initiatives on behalf of this incredible organization! Please take a moment to learn more about K9s For Warriors here, and support their mission as a volunteer or with a donation.
Oh and you’ll be hearing a lot more about this great organization… We’ll make sure of it.
