IMPACT
Service dogs from Partners for Patriots have helped improve the lives of many deserving veterans. Read some success stories below, and be inspired by the change a service dog can make in the lives of our veterans and their families.
Michelle U.
& Sarge
“Service dogs change lives. I am no longer taking any anxiety medication—-I strictly rely on him. We are a team, and I can’t imagine going anywhere without him. My life has changed for the better.”
Rich H.
& Jake
“When I first met Jake, I absolutely knew he was the dog for me! I truly believe that having Jake in my life has not only improved my mental and physical status but also saved my life.”
AMy B.
& smoke
“Smoke was trained to push those heavy doors open and hold them open for me. He walks beside me and if I start to lose my balance, he braces me. If I actually fall, he gets under me and does not let me hit the ground—no more concussions!”
Greg B.
& Doss
“(Before) I wouldn’t go to the store. But with Doss, I can go places. In my darkest hour I reached for a hand, and found a paw”
STEVEN T.
& echo
“She knows when I’m getting anxious. She’ll come over and just lean on me. And I just calm down.”
Stephen M.
& sherman
Sherman was a faithful companion throughout the last years of Stephen’s life, helping him overcome nightmares and other PTSD symptoms stemming from Stephen’s service in Vietnam.
