America's VetDogs values its partnership with Adit Ventures. Your support is important to us!

 

Meet Joe Worley, a Graduate of the America's VetDogs Program


Adit Ventures would like to thank you for attending our 5th Year Anniversary Event and hope you were inspired by Tyler McGibbin's story. We wanted to provide you with the opportunity to donate to America's VetDogs.

America's VetDogs provides guide dogs for individuals who are blind or have low vision; hearing dogs for those who have lost their hearing later in life; service dogs for those with other physical disabilities; facility dogs as part of the rehabilitation process in military and VA hospitals, and specialized service dogs to help mitigate the effects of PTSD in an effort to provide the emotional and physical support needed. These dogs are provided, FREE of charge, to veterans with disabilities.

The demand for these service dogs has grown tremendously after Sully (dog placed with George H.W. Bush) put America's VetDogs organization on the national stage. They estimate that the cost to breed, train and place a guide or service dog, combined with the training, transportation and housing of the team and a lifetime of aftercare services is in excess of $55,000 per team and all services and equipment are provided free of charge. Funding is vital now more than ever before to meet the demand for veterans that have applied for a service dog of their own.

Please consider to make a donation and help other veterans like Tyler.

About America’s VetDogs®


America’s VetDogs® is dedicated to providing service dogs, FREE of charge, to servicemen and women who have sacrificed so much for this country.  Since 2006, more than 350 assistance dogs have been trained and placed as guide and service dogs with disabled veterans of all eras. America’s VetDogs provides guide dogs with individuals who are blind or have low vision; hearing dogs for people who have lost their hearing later in life, service dogs for those with other physical disabilities, facility dogs that work with physical and occupational therapists as part of the rehabilitation process in military and VA hospitals, and PTSD service dogs to help mitigate the effects of PTSD in an effort to provide the emotional and physical support needed.

In 2013, America’s VetDogs became the second assistance dog organization in the United States to be certified by the International Guide Dog Federation and Assistance Dogs International – the Guide Dog Foundation was the first.

The cost to breed, raise, train, and place one assistance dog is over $50,000.  America’s VetDogs relies on contributions from generous individuals, corporations, service clubs and foundations. To learn more about America’s VetDogs and its services and programs, visit www.VetDogs.org
