SDIT Barrett!
We want to thank for making his training possible through their charitable contributions.
Without committed partners, we could not address the needs of our veterans throughout this great country.
Did you know, Rescue 22 Foundation is one of the only nonprofits that travels directly to the veteran for integration?

If you are interested in partnering with us or making an end of year donation, please reach out to us!

Thank you !

Evaluation for potential service dogs.

We source from shelters, rescues, breeders and owners.

The right dog for the job is based on temperament, environmental stability and desire to work.

Nothing means more to us than seeing our Rescue 22 veterans living their best lives! Crumb assists his veteran with many tasks. Keeping him grounded so he may enjoy travel with his family is just one of the many ways he gets the job done.
For many people, this may look like a simple family photo. But for this veteran, these moments mean the world.
Thank you to everyone that makes our work possible.

Our shooting team raises awareness around veterans and service dogs, brings back that feeling of community and accountability and showcases the talent of some of our R22 family members!
Thank you for an amazing event. Shout out to Garland and his service dog Sabot, killing it at their first team event.

It was an honor and a privilege to work with so many amazing people this past week on the campus of the Uniformed Services University. Twenty three service dog organizations along with dedicated researchers collaborating to identify best practices and develop a gold standard for our industry.
Many new friendships were made and there is so much more to come. Thank you to our trainers who made all of the evaluation results possible. I am very proud of our progress .basha .a.r.k.institute .canine

Meet Erick Innis and John Devine

Founder, Erick Innis is a veteran Army Ranger and Navy SEAL K9 instructor. Erick had the distinction of being selected as a Special Operations K9 handler in 2009 and served 5 combat tours in Iraq as a Ranger. Erick serves as an expert trainer both in the military and law enforcement landscape as well as the SAR kennel master in Manatee County, Florida.

The welfare of veterans within the community has been a pressing concern for Erick. As a combat veteran, he understands the unique experience of veterans returning home. With the Rescue 22 Foundation, Erick has combined his dedication to fellow veterans with his passion for working dogs.

Founder, John Devine During his career in the Military, John was selected to join the United States Navy SEAL K9 Teams. Throughout multiple deployments, John trained multi-purpose K9s, including dogs to search and clear hostel combat areas for any explosives or potential hazards. Knowing and understanding a dog’s behavior is extremely critical in these situations—and John is an expert on reading a dog’s behavior and their body language. This expertise allowed John to successfully train and handle one of the most capable multi-purpose K9s in the NAVY SEAL K9 teams.

John has had the opportunity throughout his career, to attend countless training seminars and workshops across the country led by industry greats, including Bob Bailey. He has also been given the opportunity to work alongside many of the elite trainers, such as Mike Ritland, the author of Team Dog: How to Train Your Dog—the Navy SEAL Way.
