Second Chance K9 is a rescue organization that pairs working dogs and rescues with special operations veterans who suffer from PTSD and/or TBI. It's a very focused program that places dogs who thrive on having a job, with veterans who desperately need a purpose.
We are a Rescue first and a training and Service Dog Provider second. We created our non profit based on the needs of both our SOF Veterans and the High Drive Military style dogs that have become so popular. We create a team for both the Veteran and Service dog that lasts a lifetime.
According to the National Service Animal Registry, the average cost of a service dog is around $15,000-$30,000 upfront. Second Chance K9 donates fully trained Service Dogs to Veterans that can't otherwise afford it.
