TESTIMONIAL
We recently received a note from the wife of a Veteran we had connected with a companion dog. Bill fell in love with his new dog Roxy, from the moment he laid eyes on her and contacted us regularly to tell us how much she meant to him and how she always knew exactly what he needed. He told us she would let him know when someone was at the door, because he had a difficult time hearing, she sat on his lap whenever possible and devoted all she had to make him happy. They were inseparable. This was the note we received:
"Bill died last night. Roxy, the dog you got him was his constant companion. He had her on his lap and the whole nursing home enjoyed petting her as we walked through the home."
She just told me that Roxy still sleeps on the recliner she shared with Bill and will come wake her up at 6am every morning and then follow her around all day because she doesn't want to be alone.
Heartbreaking, but at the same time wonderful because Roxy changed Bill's life, and he changed hers. This is why we do what we do what we do.

OUR HISTORY
OUR HISTORY
OUR HISTORY
Veteran Canine Connection began with the realization that our Veterans, who selflessly serve, protect and defend our country, are often in need of the kind of love and companionship that only a dog can offer. Pets help alleviate loneliness, reduce anxiety and stimulate feelings of general well-being.
Our organization helps to make
that connection a reality.
OUR MISSION
OUR HISTORY
OUR MISSION
Our goal is to connect our local Veterans with companion dogs in order to give them unconditional love, comfort and support in their everyday lives at no cost to the Veteran.
Additionally, we offer free obedience training classes to Veterans who currently own a dog but find themselves in need of basic training. (We cannot assist with pets that need significant behavioral modification.) Please fill out the form on the "Application Page" if this is something you are interested in pursuing.
