Mission Statement
Helping veterans live their life to the fullest, with increased independence, purpose, and dignity, with the help of a loving service companion. For those who struggle with the effects of PTSD and other physical or psychological challenges, achieving a better quality of life can be difficult and frustrating. Victory Service Dogs believes our veterans deserve to live their lives with a sense of independence and dignity. Research has consistently proven that the bond between humans and canines is very powerful. Service dogs can greatly improve the quality of everyday life for individuals with disabilities. They enable veterans to cope with symptoms of PTSD, achieve improved mobility, and provide a sense of well-being. Victory Service Dogs stands apart from many other service dog organizations because we operate a client-based training program and strive to adopt shelter and rescue dogs
Description
What We Do Due to our unique client-based training program, we can provide veterans with an affordable and therapeutic means to get the service dog they deserve. Our client-based training program is customized to meet the needs of the handler. Upon graduating from our program, the pair is well-equipped with the tools and strategies they need
to continue or maintain their training. We currently offer training for tasks associated with PTSD, TBI, MS, mobility, and other physical issues.
