Meet Gilbert and Pierce! Our final graduating team! They might be our last team but certainly not our least. Pierce is also trained as a PTSD service dog who is task trained to assist Gilbert. Over this week they will be spending each day learning how to train, work in public, and task together. Great work boys!

Meet Inge and Lennox! They are our third graduating team this week. Lennox is graduating as a PTSD service dog trained to assist his forever person, Inge. We are so excited to see these two bond and work together this week!

Meet Raymond and Pongo! These two are currently going through graduation week and learning how train and work together as a team. Already loving what we see with these two!

Meet Christina and Sarafina! They are one of our four incredible new teams that are matched this week and completing graduation week. Congratulations Christina on your new life partner!

Children can be a hard distraction to overcome. Kids talk and move differently than adults. They are also closer to the dog’s level unlike adults who are much farther above. Ruby is doing a great job of being engaged with her handler while occasionally glancing at the kids on motorized animals.

Our Story

Founded in 2018, United States Veterans Service Dogs is a not-for-profit organization created to serve the needs of veterans with disabilities through providing high trained assistance dogs and ongoing support at no cost to the recipients.

USVSD recognized the need for a service dog organization who would provide a variety of service dogs to match the wide array of disabilities that our veterans have. We provide PTSD service dogs for veterans who struggle with the debilitating effects of PTSD; mobility support dogs to help those who need extra assistance getting around or accomplishing day-to-day tasks; medical alert dogs to alert to a medical episode before it happens; hearing alert dogs who respond and alert their handler to sounds and noses they can't hear; and facility dogs who work in healthcare settings to improve the mental and physical health of the patients they work with.

All of our services are provided at no cost to the veterans. Our funding comes from generous contributions of individuals, corporations, foundations, businesses, and service clubs.

PTSD service dogs can provide crowd control tasks, perform Deep Pressure Therapy and Light Pressure Therapy, interrupt anxious behaviors, e.g., scratching, leg shaking, finger tapping, and biting or picking at skin. They can also interrupt night terrors and guide their handler to an exit while in a building.
