Glory is our 1st sponsored Service Dog for a Veteran through our Dogtopia Foundation partnership with Paws Assisting Veterans (PAVE).

We started raising funds for our 1st Service Dog in when we opened our doors in 2020 with dedicated daycare events and fundraisers to reach our goal. It was challenging at times but our Pet Parents and Dogtopia Foundation supporters stepped up to help us reach our goal of $6,000 by November 2021.

We selected PAVE as our partner based on their mission committed to reducing this devastating statistic and helping Veterans to live a fulfilled life with the support of their PAVE service dog. PAVE provides service dogs free of charge to their Veterans, as well as lifetime support for their Veterans and service dogs.

We were assigned Glory in November 2021 and they were in training for roughly nine months. PAVE shared Glory’s progress and many stages of her training

She was placed with his Veteran, Kristy who served in the Army.
