What We Do

We create opportunities to save at risk dogs, train them, and place them with deserving service members who have been diagnosed with post-combat stress and anxiety. There is no out of pocket cost for the veteran to receive a trained dog, and they gain a constant companion to help them cope with the unique challenges of their everyday life. Who We Are

We are a group of men and women wh

o have either served in or worked closely with our military. We’ve seen the difficulties that our men and women face when returning to civilian life, and we’ve known men and women who have tragically contributed to the unprecedented rate of veteran suicides. Torre’s Story

The idea for Dogs2DogTags came to Torre Willadsen when he was deployed as a civilian contractor working with military dogs in 2012. During his time with the 7th Marines, he developed close bonds with dogs and dog handlers alike, and when dog handler Chris Van Etten was wounded, Torre worked hard to help keep Chris and his dog Harley together during Chris’ recovery. Torre suspected—and then saw firsthand—the profound effect a canine companion could have on a wounded man’s frame of mind at a difficult time. And that’s when Torre knew that he wanted to bring that kind of unconditional support to those back home struggling with post-traumatic stress. Staff:
Torre R Willadsen: President & Founder
Sergeant Major Ryan Hermance (USMC): President North American Operations
Brek Rammer: VP of North American Operations
Jennifer Tisch: Chief Operations Officer

Here's an update from Bud's veteran!🐾😍👏

"Brother, my nightmares are dwindled down a significant amount. I’ve asked my wife if I wake her up, and she has said no, not since he’s been here. This is awesome for both of us. I sleep better and she hasn’t woken up five times a night to my violent sleepy war cries."

"I also took him to counseling on Monday. While speaking with my counselor, three topics came up that always heighten me in some form. During each of the three, he was meandering around the room and stopped when he heard the shakiness/tone change. He slowly climbed on the couch, licked my face and laid across my lap. Once I calmed down, he would walk around the room again until I started getting upset again. Then he would repeat his actions."

"My Counselor was dumbfounded. She’s had several service dogs in sessions, just not a dog that immediately reacts to their owners as Bud did. His stimulus response blew her away."
