About us
America’s VetDogs® began in 2003 as a project of the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind to consolidate and increase our outreach to veterans of all eras. In 2006, it became a separate 501(c)(3) corporation. VetDogs provides guide dogs for veterans who are blind; service dogs for those with other physical disabilities; physical and occupational therapy dogs to work with amputees in military and VA hospitals; and combat stress control dogs to be deployed in theater. All of our services are provided at no cost to veterans, and our funding comes from the generous contributions of individuals, corporations, foundations, businesses, and service and fraternal clubs. For a veteran with a serious limb injury, amputation, or traumatic brain injury, a service dog can provide stability support climbing up and down stairs or getting in and out of a chair, and can be trained to fetch and retrieve specific items, e.g., medication, a wallet, or a phone. For veterans with seizure disorder, dogs can be trained to alert for seizure response.

Luke wants to know: Do you have your DAF set up? Today is DAF Day, the paw-fect time to learn about Donor Advised Funds! A DAF is a charitable giving account with tax advantages. Think of it as the philanthropic version of a 401(k) or an HSA, designed to make supporting nonprofits like America’s VetDogs even easier. By establishing a DAF, you can choose to support America’s VetDogs and help provide service dogs to veterans and first responders at no cost. 🐕🦺 Visit https://lnkd.in/eBEzK9fm to learn more.

We’re proud to support America's VetDogs Puppy with a Purpose® program by sponsoring and co-raising Scout as he begins his 14–18 month journey toward becoming a life-changing service dog for a veteran, first responder, or active military member with disabilities. Scout is our second pup to join this incredible program, and we can’t wait to follow his progress. #ServiceDogs #PuppiesWithAPurpose #TeamVoya ❤️🐕🦺

Max Rohn served as a Navy corpsman attached to the Marines on a police transition team. In 2009, during a convoy in Iraq, he was catastrophically injured. His journey since has been defined by strength, resilience, and finding hope in the most unexpected places. After enduring immense challenges, Max chose to move forward. That choice led him to America’s VetDogs, where a service dog became more than a partner; it became a lifeline. We are grateful to the Bob Woodruff Foundation for featuring Max’s story and for highlighting the impact service dogs have on veterans and first responders.
