Blue Star Service Dogs

Blue Star Service Dogs BSSD trains shelter dogs into Service Animals to be paired with disabled Veterans & First responders Traditional treatment alone is often not enough.

THE VETERANS
Veterans are returning from combat theaters with PTSD and TBI in record numbers. Estimates suggest that 13.8% of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans live with PTSD. Anywhere from 150,000 to 300,000 service members have some level of TBI. THE DOGS
Meanwhile there are five million dogs sitting in shelters and rescues every day across the country. Many of thes

e dogs would make excellent psychiatric service dogs for those veterans living with PTSD and TBI for whom traditional treatments are not enough. WE BELIEVE IN RESCUE DOGS
Our dogs come from rescue organizations, shelters, animal control agencies and humane societies. We believe that many mixed breed and rescue dogs can make wonderful service animals and create a mutually beneficial relationship with a veteran living with PTSD and/or TBI. WE CAN HELP IN HEALING
Service Dogs can perform a variety of tasks for their handler in order for the handler to have a fuller life with fewer symptoms. Service Dogs can do things such as turn on lights, provide a safe space in public, wake their handler from a night terror, reminding the handler to take medication and so much more. BLUE STAR SERVICE DOGS IS UNIQUE
Blue Star relies on donations and grants to provide this training to our military veterans at no cost to the veteran. Our programs are not one-size fits all. Instead, we provide a unique training experience that accounts for the strengths and needs of the dog and the veteran. We seek to form lifelong bonds between veteran and service dog, not just provide them with training. If you are a veteran looking to apply for a service dog, please send an email to [email protected] for more information. Please allow at least 72 hours for a response.

These long-lasting chews have definitely earned two paws up from our crew. Thank you to Devil Dog Pet Co. for supporting Blue Star Service Dogs and helping us continue our mission of rescuing one to heal another.

June is PTSD Awareness Month, a time to recognize the silent battles so many face and to break the stigma surrounding invisible wounds.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. For many of the veterans and first responders we serve, PTSD isn’t just a memory—it’s part of daily life. But with support, connection, and the right resources, healing is possible.
At Blue Star Service Dogs, we’ve seen what happens when someone is met with understanding and paired with a dog that listens, protects, and walks beside them through recovery.
This month, we’re standing with every person affected by PTSD and CPTSD. You are not alone. You deserve support, and your story matters.

❤️🤍💙 Roo Approved! ❤️🤍💙

Today a few bags of Devil Dog Pet Co.’s Patriot Packs arrived at Blue Star Service Dogs, and of course Roo volunteered as our official taste tester.

After careful inspection, extensive sniff testing, and quality control chewing, Roo is happy to report that these Himalayan yak chews have earned her seal of approval. 🐾
