War Dogs Making It Home

War Dogs Making It Home Helping veterans with PTSD/TBI in Chicago. Veterans are paired with highly selected dogs rescued from high kill shelters or surrendered to Morgan’s dogs.
(366)

Morgan’s staff trains these dogs in basic obedience and fundamentals of service for PTSD/TBI veterans. They are taught to interrupt attacks of panic, stress and hypervigilance: hallmarks of PTSD/TBI. Over a 3 – 4 week period the dogs are then introduced to the veterans in bi-weekly group classes. In this safe environment, veterans share their stories, events and concerns with each other while they

learn about their dogs and their dogs learn about them. Under supervision from Elana Morgan they become the trainers of their service dogs. There are unique aspects to our program. The veterans are saving the dogs’ lives, which decreases the stigma of negative labeling in which those who most need help avoid seeking help for fear of looking weak. The veterans participate in the training of their service dogs in an ongoing program with other affected veterans. The time and cost to get the service dogs in our program is shortened by years and tens of thousands of dollars. Most veterans wait in vain for years to get a service dog. Our program pairs them with a service dog in 6-8 weeks. The cost from rescue to graduation is $5,000 and the cost for the entire two year program of classes and group support is $10,000. There is no cost to the veteran to be in our program or for their service dog.

WOW!! My day was made! The very first war dog that War Dogs Making It Home started with, came to visit me today. We are talking late 2010! Marine combat vet, Rico, who had war dog Clouseau. He had moved to another state and was in town for a few days and just surprised the hell out of me!! So great seeing him! Go war dogs! 🐾❤️🐕🇺🇸

🐕🐾❤️🪖🇺🇸🏍️ Another awesome graduation at Sunday’s War Dogs class! Army veteran War Dog Lawrence and his rescued service dog, War Dog Salem, have officially graduated !! Salem was originally rescued by Danny and Ron’s rescue in South Carolina. Danny and Ron have rescued so many dogs that have made it through the War Dogs program and helped so many veterans. We are so grateful to you both! Big, big thank you to John Martino, dog trainer in Florida, for getting Salem to us. You’re an angel!  this war dog team’s sponsor is “A Road to Help 2022” motorcycle ride! A Road to Help has sponsored multiple service dogs for our veterans that are diagnosed with PTSD, MST and/or TBI. This year was their 10th anniversary, and it was a great success! We are beyond grateful and thankful to Kevin Kelly and all the bikers who volunteered, rode, showed up, helped, and made this their biggest year yet!! We love you guys! Thank you, thank you!!🐕🐾🪖🇺🇸❤️🏍️
