Some veterans and service‑dog teams need extra support beyond training: short‑term lodging during bonding, meals while traveling for placement, agility and water therapy for task development and rehab, supplies for in‑training dogs, and travel assistance to attend critical sessions. Our Supportive Services fund provides flexible, timely help so each match can succeed. Gifts enable immediate, practical assistance that removes barriers to training, bonding, and long‑term success.
