Resources for Organizations that Train PTSD Service Dogs
Dog Chow Food & Monetary Grant Applications for 501(c)3 Organizations
Dog Chow is committed to supporting the lives and training of more PTSD service dogs for Veterans. One of the ways we work to do this is by offering both food donations and monetary grants to qualified 501(c)3 service dog training organizations so that they may train and care for more life-saving service dogs for America’s Veterans.
Request to Add Your Organization to Our Online List
If you are an organization that trains PTSD service dogs at no or minimal cost to Veterans, we welcome you to fill out an application for your organization information to be added to our website. Organizations we list on our site may also train other types of service dogs (e.g., mobility service dogs or other types of psychiatric service dogs). However, training service dogs for individuals with PTSD must be a sizeable part of your organization’s offerings.
