Abstract

D2DT creates an opportunity to save at risk, rescued, or donated dogs, train them, and place them with deserving service members who have been diagnosed with post combat stress and anxiety. The purpose is to provide the veteran, at no cost, a trained dog that they can gain a constant companion to help them cope with their unique challenges in everyday life.

Our nonprofit organization is run by individuals who have either served in or worked closely with our military. We have seen the difficulties our service men and women face when returning to civilian life and know far too many who have tragically contributed to the unprecedented rate of veteran suicides. D2DT is committed to standing by our veterans and keeping them aware that we care.  

It is our mission to help the men and women who have sacrificed so much to defend our country and her citizens. We aim to support those who have returned home but are not fully able to integrate back into the normal lives they once enjoyed because of traumatic experiences.
