Victory Service Dogs believes our U.S. service members, veterans, and disabled Americans deserve to live lives of independence and dignity. For those who struggle with the effects of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), and other physical or psychological challenges, achieving that desired quality of life can be difficult and frustrating.
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, both physical and mental. They enable veterans and active duty service members to cope with symptoms of PTSD, gain improved mobility, and provide a sense of well being.
Our program stands apart from many other organizations because we strive to either train a veteran's existing canine companion or adopt shelter and rescue dogs for our program. Additionally, we attempt to pair our animals with our veterans before the animals are fully trained. This allows the veteran and the canine to bond with each other and mutually reap the benefits of simple companionship long before the work life of the animal begins. Then both veteran and canine are jointly trained in private sessions as well as group sessions with other veterans and their animals. The result is a program which helps to re-engage disabled veterans in society via the human canine bond.
