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
Kelly
K9s for Warriors
11/17/2022
Edmond's first service dog for a veteran!
Kelly is our first service dog sponsored through the Dogtopia Foundation's partnership with K9s for Warriors. We chose to work with K9s for Warriors as most of the dogs they train come from high-kill rescue shelters. Their three-week, comprehensive training program gives previously unwanted dogs the ability to change the life of a veteran. The rescued dogs prove that not only are they good companions but can save lives if given the chance. An average of 20 veterans commit suicide every day and 700,000 dogs are euthanized each year in shelters. Because of these staggering statistics, our team decided to do everything we could to reach our fundraising goal. Through the generosity of our pet parents and team, we hit our goal of $6000 and sponsored Kelly's training as a service dog.
Next time you are in the lobby, check out the book on display that shows Kelly's adventures meeting her veteran, Nathan. Pictures speak a thousand words and you can see their incredible bond. They make such an amazing team! We are honored to be a part of their journey and look forward to getting more updates.
Help us sponsor our next pup by donating in store or at the Dogtopia Foundation website. Be sure to designate the donation to Edmond to count towards our goal. 100% of every donation goes to the organizations we support.

Kody
America's Vet Dogs
Meet Cody, our sponsored dog with America's VetDogs, born June 14, 2021! This smart, hard-working pup has already passed basic obedience training and is entering the next phase of more advanced task-related training. When Cody has completed advanced training and is deemed "class ready," he will carefully be matched with a veteran or first responder in need. We are proud to help sponsor the training of a dog that will help service men and women live without boundaries. Help us cheer on Cody as he learns how to be a supportive, loyal, and hard-working companion, and stay tuned for more training updates.
