Description

Top Dogg K9 Foundation (TDK9) meets the critical needs of disabled veterans in Georgia. We are the emerging leading support center for veterans as we work within our community to reduce the number of military families impacted by suicide due to mental illness each year. TDK9 stands on the principle that Veterans Deserve Outstanding Generosity and Service (VDOGS). We support this principle by rescuing, training, and pairing suitable dogs with disabled veterans and those struggling with mental health challenges post-deployment for a happier, healthier, and more balanced life. TDK9 provides dog training, referrals for support/social services, canine therapy workshops as well as social support and networking opportunities for veterans with veterans. We provide these life-changing services to veterans at no cost to them. Donations & income generated by boarding, grooming & training for the public allows us to fulfill our mission. We are proud to not only provide canine companions and service aids to our deserving veterans but to also offer greater linkage to care and social services for their families and serve as a safe haven and conduit for emotional wellness for those utilizing our services. We also educate the community at large on the challenges our warriors face, including physical, mental health, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Military Sexual Trauma, depression, and other common diagnoses soldiers face after deployment.
