Service Dogs for our Warriors

To celebrate the anniversary of International Assistance Dog Week, we are extremely excited to reveal our brand new Paws for Purple Hearts informational video highlighting our mission. It shows the culmination of years of hard work and dedication from our teams across the country that make PPH what it is today.

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT

Donations to Paws for Purple Hearts can change a Warrior’s life from hopelessness to optimism.

Your generous, tax-deductible donation helps thousands of Warriors face the visible and invisible wounds of war. Our Canine-Assisted Warrior Therapy helps them heal as they help others - all with the goal of raising top tier service dogs for Veterans and active-duty Service Members with mobility and trauma challenges.

BECOME A VOLUNTEER

Want to support our military heroes? If so, taking advantage of Paws for Purple Hearts volunteer opportunities is the perfect way.

Join our energetic crew and pick the task that suits you best. You could help with puppy care, greet Warriors at the front desk, or even help maintain our PPH centers. Regardless of the task, you’re helping Warriors heal. Your time also helps them as Warriors train service dogs for Veterans and active duty Service Members with challenges.

APPLY FOR A SERVICE DOG

We place service dogs with Service Members and Veterans facing challenges such as:

Mobility issues. Our dogs can help with tasks such as: retrieving items, pushing buttons for elevators and doors, turning lights on/off, plus many more.

Diagnosed trauma-related conditions (PTSD or TBI). Our dogs help by performing a variety of tasks specifically designed to reduce symptom severity.

Through our thorough application process, our qualified staff determines if a PPH service dog will be a fit for your specific needs.
