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.

After losing my dog, Mr. Hurley at the age of 14, my good friend convinced me, one more time, to go look for a new dog. After visiting Lake Humane , I found a dog in the last cage who was scrubby and ragged looking and his clear eyes and cut off tail saying to me, "Do you se me, I am right here" My friend Bob saw your card and I made the call to you. When I tell people what you have done for a fellow Veteran, it makes my hair stand on end. He is a keeper and the support from your group is AWESOME. This was worth the many months of looking to save a dog that is JUST RIGHT FOR ME. Patience prevails. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Marc

We are most appreciative of this program and all their help and kindness given to us. It is an awesome program for Veterans and we have been honored to have found you. It has brought back happiness to mu husband and me as well. Thank you all for all you do. We will do our best to let other Veterans know about such a worthy program. Ella and James

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 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.
