Two of our Outstanding Fosters sharing their love with two of our service dog candidates prior to awarding them to our veterans. Thank you Lisa for fostering Sierra and Nancy for fostering Benjo! You provide an invaluable service to the Healing Paws for Warriors program by acclimating these rescues into a loving family atmosphere so that our veterans get a great head start with their training.
We are looking for at least 6 new fosters for our program and I ask our followers or friends to help us find these future angels. Currently, we are looking for fosters in Fort Walton Beach, Niceville, and Shalimar, however we will need fosters in other locations as well.
As our program continues to grow, so does our need for fosters. To Note -We provide you with all of the supplies, training, and a comprehensive foster manual for your new buddy and we are available 24-7 to assist you and set you up for success.. You can foster for as little or as long as you want. Please contact us at 850-716-8198 if you are interested.

Happy National Say Something Nice Day!

Class #26 "Pairing" was awesome!. After successfully completing the first 2 weeks of classroom academics training without knowing their dogs, each veteran was awarded their new service dog to begin the practical hands-on training. This is the first time they meet their new "battle buddy." This also begins the very important process of bonding. The pairing is an event not just for the veteran, but the entire family.
For the next 5-6 weeks, both the service dogs and their veterans will work as a team performing community access proper behaviors which will eventually lead to Healing Paws for Warriors certification.
To Class #26...the real work begins now!!!! Congratulations!

We are very excited! Class #26 rescues have been selected and have completed their initial 8 weeks of service dog training with us and have now been paired with their veterans. From this point on, they will train with their veterans.

Introducing Rosie, Kai, Patches, Trooper, Benjo, and Sierra! These rescues have some amazing background stories with extreme challenges they endured prior to being rescued that we'll talk about later. The good news is they now have a "Battle Buddy" they can assist while they also find a new leash on life.
