Campaign Overview
This Veterans Day, Top Dogg K9 Foundation has partnered with 11Alive once again for a special live Telethon event dedicated to supporting our nation’s heroes.

Why This Matters
Every day, nearly 22 veterans lose their lives to suicide and many struggle with PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, and other service-related disabilities. Service dogs are proven to offer invaluable support by helping veterans regain independence, confidence, and hope. With nearly 400 successful dog-veteran pairings and 2,500+ families served, your support directly changes lives.
