DFW Canines for Veterans

We are a 501c3 non profit organization dedicated to training service dogs with disabled combat Veterans

suffering from PTSD and/or TBI. We pull 98-99% of our dogs from city kill shelters that pass our lengthy and vigorous evaluation from our trainers.

Once a veteran is accepted into our program, we start searching for their service dog.  We start training the service dog intraining and the veteran together. We feel this forms an extremely tight bond. The service dogs are

trained by our Director of Training and according to the veterans needs and disabilities.  

Once trained these amazing service dogs, battle buddies accompany their veteran every where they go.

Assisting them in their daily lives, giving back their freedom as they have done so for us.

Also coupled with Pine Trees Counseling Center, there are recreational therapy animals.  Including horses, playing with baby goats and chickens! There is also a gun range, lake for fishing, bonfires and cookouts!
