Canines With a Cause (CWAC) The mission of Canines With a Cause is to unite veterans and rescued dogs to heal emotional and psychological wounds.

If you need to reach us please call during regular business hours or visit our website. Thanks to our prison training program, we don't have a shelter or kennel facility and our veteran training classes are private. The dogs we choose for our programs are carefully evaluated at shelters for behavior, health and overall temperament for service dog training. From there, they are spayed or neutered,

vaccinated and microchipped. They are placed in our prison training program, where inmates give the dogs basic training and constant socialization while they're being paired with a military veteran who needs them. Some will be available for public adoption as companions through our Penitentiary Pups program.

September is National Service Dog Month 🇺🇸🐾

When most people think of a service dog, they may picture a dog assisting someone with a physical disability. But service dogs can be trained to support individuals with a wide range of disabilities, including psychiatric disabilities.

For veterans, a psychiatric service dog can provide more than companionship--can help increase independence, confidence, safety, and overall, quality of life!



A huge shoutout to our friends at saNGgwen Media for the incredible video production, and to Katie and Heather — thank you for your generous support and sponsorship.

Today, on National Dog Day, we’re celebrating the incredible dogs who make our lives a little brighter, our hearts a little fuller, and our hardest days a little easier.

They love us unconditionally, remind us to stay present, and show us every day what it means to love without limits.

SHARE A PHOTO OF YOUR furry family members so we can celebrate them too! 🐾❤️

💙 You could be the person who makes a difference.💙

Su***de prevention isn’t just for mental health professionals. QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) Gatekeeper Training gives everyday people the tools to recognize warning signs, start a conversation, offer hope, and connect someone to help.

You don’t have to be an expert to help save a life. You just have to be willing to ask.
