Mission Statement
Hero Dogs, Inc., founded in 2009, improves the quality of life of our nation’s heroes and enhances the services of community organizations by placing assistance dogs with customized training and lifetime support. Hero Dogs service dogs are placed exclusively with veterans of the U.S. military and first-responders with disabilities. Disabilities do not need to be service connected. There is no cost to the recipient for the service dogs that Hero Dogs raises, trains, and places, or for the training they provide. It costs approximately $40,000 over a period of 2.5-3 years to train just one service dog for a veteran or first responder. In creating these partnerships, clients achieve a renewed level of independence, rely less on support people in their lives, and improve quality of life.
