Hero Dogs for Veterans

This time of year we pay our respects by remembering the people who've died while serving in our country's armed forces, and to those who continue to serve our country. Many families visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. And, many volunteers place an American flag on graves in national and local cemeteries. But, if you are looking for another way to volunteer this Memorial Day, then listen to Rita Rich by clicking here , as she interviews Jennifer Lund , Ph.D. – Founder & Executive Director of Hero-Dogs . This Memorial Day, we at Patriot-Made Audio pay tribute to a uniquely heroic work in process through Hero Dogs, Inc. And, if you will be in Washington, DC on Memorial Day during Rolling Thunder, consider stopping by their booth to volunteer with Hero-Dogs! MORE ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION: Hero-Dogs.org is a Maryland 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that raises and trains service dogs and places them free of charge with our nation's Veterans to improve quality of life and restore independence. Take a look at some of those who have graduated from the program. Hero-Dogs now have five staff members and more than 100 volunteers committed to the success of our disabled veterans. [youtube Hero Dogs, Inc. provides service dogs to Veterans who: have served in any branch of the uniformed services in any era; and have received an honorable or a general (under honorable conditions) discharge; and have a disabling medical condition (does not need to be service-connected); and have been released from all service and reserve obligations; and have met all Hero Dogs' requirements for application into the program, applied, and been accepted into the program; and have successfully completed all required Hero Dogs training and certification requirements . There is no cost to a Veteran for the service dogs we raise, train, and place, or for the training they give. To learn more about applying for a Hero Dog, click here .
