Veterans

B.E.S.T Service Dogs proudly supports Paws for Purple Hearts, a service dog organization that provides a Canine-Assisted Warrior Therapy program. This program is a unique way to help active duty warriors and veterans that suffer from trauma. Participants care for and train future service dogs for veterans and service members with challenges. 

Paws for Purple Hearts has chosen two additional pups in 2018 and they are currently working with veterans in their training roles. Once trained, our dogs could be placed as:
​

• An invaluable member that brightens up a military post or VA hospital
• A life changing service dog for a challenged service member or veteran
• Specialist Therapy Dog – placed with a psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker, nurse or therapist
