Why Monthly Matters

Monthly Donors Are the Backbone

Predictable monthly giving lets us plan placements, support handlers long-term, and respond when a veteran or first responder needs a dog now — not in 18 months. $25 a month for 5 years places one full service dog. $50 a month gets there in half the time.

Honor & Memorial

Give in Honor or in Memory

Dedicate a gift to a veteran, first responder, or loved one. We'll send a personalized acknowledgment to whoever you name (or to the family, if the gift is in memory).

To make an honor or memorial gift, donate through any method above and email us the details:

  • Honoree's name and relationship to you
  • Who should receive the acknowledgment (name + address or email)
  • Whether you'd like to include a short message
