Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
At Hearts of Gold, Memorial Day holds a special meaning. Many of the veterans we serve carry the visible and invisible wounds of service, and behind each story is a shared bond of sacrifice, courage, and resilience.
Our service dogs are more than companions—they are lifelines, helping veterans regain independence, confidence, and peace in their daily lives. On this day, we remember that the freedoms we enjoy come at a profound cost, and we are deeply committed to honoring that sacrifice by supporting those who return home.
As we gather with loved ones, let us take a moment to reflect, remember, and express gratitude for those who never made it back.
Their legacy lives on—in the lives they protected and in the continued care we provide to those who served.

Occasionally, training service dogs may appear uneventful. As we prepare our next group of service dogs, it's essential to revisit fundamental skills for these canine trainees. Watch this clip of mastering a crucial service dog skill, loose leash walking.

💛🐾 Hearts of Gold is seeking breeder partners! 🐾💛

Hearts of Gold trains service dogs for veterans, and we’re looking to build relationships with reputable breeders who want to make a meaningful impact. We’re especially interested in Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers, but we’re open to discussing other breeds with strong service‑dog potential.

We’re looking for breeders who:
✨ Are producing puppies from parents with full breed‑specific health testing
✨ Have lines known for stable, confident, service‑appropriate temperaments
✨ May be willing to provide puppies through donation or reduced cost

Please note: Tax donation letters are available only for fully donated puppies. Discounted puppies are deeply appreciated but do not qualify for donation documentation.

As a partner, you’ll also have opportunities for visibility and recognition through our:
🌟 Website
🌟 Social media platforms
🌟 Community events and outreach
🌟 Program materials and acknowledgments

If you or someone you know is a breeder who believes in purposeful placements and wants to support veterans through service dog work, we’d love to connect.
Together, we can change lives — one puppy at a time. 💛🐶🇺🇸

Please share to help us reach the right partners!

You can reach us at [email protected] or shoot us a message!
