Stated Purpose
"to end veteran suicide and return our Warriors to a life of dignity and independence by rescuing and training shelter dogs to be paired as Service Dogs for Warriors with service-connected Post-Traumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injury and/or Military Sexual Trauma."
K9s For Warriors (K9FW) provides Assistance Dogs International (ADI)-certified service dogs at no cost to those in its program to help restore their physical and emotional independence. The organization's focus is on healing - helping the veteran and paired service dog build a bond to facilitate recovery. After completing K9FW's three-week residential training program, the organization's goal is for the veterans to have gained the emotional means to repair their relationship with themselves, their families, and their friends. K9FW reports that roughly 90% of the organization's service dogs come from rescue shelters or are owner-surrendered.
