Your Contribution Helps With

Medical Needs

Medical treatment and routine care are among the highest costs in training service dogs, ensuring they stay healthy and live long for their owners.

More Pups

Funding allows us to train more service dogs, providing vital support to Veterans and First Responders. Each dog costs $10,000–$20,000 to train.

Food & Treats

Feeding a service dog in training costs $500–$1,000 annually, plus treats, training equipment, and essentials.

Thank You To Our 2024 Sponsors

A Second Chance

New Life K9s collaborates with California Men's Colony in San Luis Obispo, pairing incarcerated individuals with future service dogs. Each dog is assigned two handlers for consistent training, and volunteer Puppy Parents take the dogs home on weekends for socialization. This program reduces costs for New Life K9s, allowing them to place more dogs and save more lives, while also positively transforming inmates, prison staff, and the overall prison culture.
