There’s no doubt that Paws for Purple Hearts service dogs make an extraordinary impact on the Warriors they are placed with. These smart, attuned, loving animals dedicate their lives to assisting their Warrior battle buddies.

This Thanksgiving, we want to thank all of the wonderful people who dedicate their lives to making it happen. From our training staff to our volunteers to our donors and beyond, this important life-changing work would not be possible without the dedication of a wide variety of people doing their part.

Thank you, PPH Staff

PPH staff took on the COVID-19 challenge and continued to train high-quality assistance dogs this year. We even had our first-ever virtual graduation ceremony this August and placed two PPH dogs despite the COVID-19 restrictions!

Thank you to all PPH staff members for continuing to serve our brave Warriors throughout this pandemic, a time where our service dogs are needed more than ever.

Thank you, Dedicated Volunteers

Thank you to the wonderful volunteers who have stuck with us through constant changes and updated safety protocols. This year weekend puppy parents became fulltime caretakers for our dogs, in-person volunteers transitioned to remote toymakers and fundraisers, and many new applicants have patiently awaited the opportunity to lend a helping hand.

Even though opportunities to help at our training centers have been limited, our network of virtual volunteers has grown tremendously. Thank you for staying connected with us on social media and checking in with the PPH location nearest you.
