Dogs for Our Brave’s mission is to provide professionally trained service dogs at no cost to veterans who have suffered debilitating injury or illness while in service to our country. Their goal is to use rescue dogs at every opportunity, thus saving two lives at once. In order to fully realize their mission without adding financial burden, they also provide a continuum of free support that covers all food, veterinary care, and pharmaceuticals for the life of the dog.
"It doesn't matter how long you have your disability, you always have your good days and bad days,” said former U.S. Army 1st Sgt. Chris Roseberry, a veteran who received a service dog from Dogs for Our Brave. “Gabby has helped me brace, retrieve things, and push buttons to open doors. When I have nightmares, she has learned to hop on the bed, lick my face to wake me up, and she stays there until I sit up. She's been amazing. Her and I are a perfect fit."
