Even Heroes Need Heroes
We are committed to uniting service dogs with military veterans. We do this by generating awareness of the benefits of service dogs, and hosting fundraisers throughout the year so we can help sponsor their training. Thanks to the continuous generosity of our pet parents and community supporters, we're making an impact.
We're honored to highlight our furry, four-legged heroes who have graduated from training as loyal, hardworking companions for the brave men and women who served our country. It's hard work to become a service dog for a veteran and only the best make the cut. The need for service dogs among veterans is great and with your support, we hope to sponsor many more.
MEET OUR SERVICE DOGS
Danny
K9's for Warriors
02/18/2022
Arlington Heights 1st Service Dog for a Veteran!
Danny is our first sponsored Service Dog for a Veteran through our Dogtopia Foundation partnership with K9's for Warriors.
We started raising funds for our 1st Service Dog right before we opened our doors in July of 2020 with dedicated daycare events and fundraisers to reach our goal. It was challenging times for all in 2020, but our Pet Parents and Dogtopia Foundation supporters stepped up to help us reach our goal of $6,000 by September of 2021!
We selected K9's for Warriors as our partner based on their mission for adopting adult dogs from Animal Shelters to train as life partners for Veterans. We were driven to the organization based on 2 things: 1) Saving a shelter dog to give them a strong purpose in life and 2) Success rate for transition from shelter dog to service dog.
We were assigned Danny in December of 2021 and he was in training for roughly 2 months. K9's for Warriors shared Danny's progress and many stages of his training. He was placed with his Warrior, Jovauna when he graduated in February of 2022. The turn-around from shelter dog to Service Dog is truly amazing.
To learn more about Danny and Jovauna, we have a book proudly displayed in our lobby!
