Who We Are

Vets Helping Heroes is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization created to solicit and provide funds for qualified training facilities so that they may provide guide dogs or service dogs and training to veterans and active military personnel who have been wounded in the global war on terrorism and who require the use of an assistance dog to help them return to a life of self-reliance and dignity whether they are blind or visually impaired or have other special needs.

Our Mission

To provide a professionally trained assistance dog prepared by a qualified instructor to every disabled hero wounded in the global war on terrorism that will enable them to return to a life with dignity and self-reliance whether they are visually impaired or have other special needs that require an assistance dog. All of the services are provided at no cost to the veteran.

How Veterans Benefit

Assistance dogs provide independence and service to a veteran 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. In addition, they are a source of much needed enjoyment as beloved "family members" - running with children, providing comfort for spouses, and the security of knowing that they can even provide such services as predicting an oncoming seizure.
