Warrior Support Dog
Warrior support dogs are in-home companions for veterans and first responders with PTSD who are in need of a loving friend. These incredible dogs have been raised and trained with the same dedication and care as public access service dogs, but their unique personalities and strengths make them a better fit as in-home companions. While they may not accompany their handlers in all public settings, they provide unwavering support, comfort, and companionship at home. These dogs offer a sense of security, emotional stability, and unconditional love, helping to create a peaceful and healing environment for their human partners.
Thank you for your interest in a New Life K9s warrior support dog.
