We Are The Difference

We are a 501(C)(3) nonprofit that raises funds and awareness for the prevention of Veteran Suicide through dog adoptions, small non-judgmental wellness groups, and support in hands-on dog training and we need your support now more than ever. Each day 22 Veterans take their own lives. With your support we will help those on waiting lists improve their wellness today!






We believe that the bond between dog and owner can never be replaced by just simply handed someone a dog. Instead, we offer assistance through the 120 hours needed to get a dog through the various levels of canine training. 

Now excepting your 'In Memory' Donations for 2023. You will get a donor letter back for your records.
