SD Gunner Fund

The SD Gunner Fund was initially created to assist Veterans and disabled children with the financial expense of owning much needed service animals. Sgt. Kinard.

The SD Gunner Fund assists veterans, children living with disabilities, and first responders while inspiring disability awareness through public education and advocacy. The SD Gunner Fund assists veterans, children living with disabilities and first responders while inspiring disability awareness through public education and advocacy. Service Animals require a variety of necessary items in order t

o perform their service. Those items can include but are not limited to: vests, custom harnesses, other assistance items, veterinary visits, and more. Service dogs are trained to support individuals with mobility, hearing, psychiatric, and brain/neurological disabilities. These dogs are professionally trained to meet the individual needs of their partner and completes tasks such as opening doors, picking up dropped objects, assisting with daily dressing, or pulling a manual wheelchair. The SD Gunner Fund can also assist Veterans and disabled children with a variety of “other” financial assistance if needed. The SD Gunner Fund was started in 2014 by Britnee Kinard. Britnee is the wife and caregiver to her husband, Retired Sgt. Hamilton Kinard, and a full time mom to their two boys. The Kinard's eldest son, Blayne, was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, and Mixed Receptive/Expressive Language Disorder in 2013. He also suffers from Stephens-Johnson Syndrome. Kinard, a disabled OIF veteran, received his mobility service dog Gunner in 2013. The Kinard's experienced first hand the neglect the Department of Veterans Affairs, and their lack of approving the much needed service animals for our disabled veterans. “My family and I have struggled to navigate our way through the system, and we do not want anyone to ever have to go through what we've been through with the V.A. Service animals help Veterans like my husband so much, but the government refuses to recognize this." What the Kinard's didn't realize was that SD Gunner was also helping their son, Blayne, with his daily struggles. "SD Gunner helps me keep an eye on Blayne when he bolts from me," said Mrs. He also watches over my son when he sleeps, and runs to him when he screams. He is our guardian angel! If a parent of a disabled child or military family is in need, I want them to know they are not in this fight alone, and that we want to help!"

Brother Jim Brackeen, a retired Army soldier, a missionary for well over 10 years, and more recently, the Chaplain for the Bryan County Sheriff's Department and the Richmond Hill Police Department.
Jim and his beloved wife came home from being missionaries to care for Phyllis's mom as she fought her battle with Alzheimer's. Mrs. Geneva went home in August and Jim and Phyllis went back to work for the Lord, in Ukraine.
While serving in Ukraine, on October 8th, Jim had a heart attack and went home to be with our Lord.
Tomorrow with a police es**rt, Jim will arrive at the SAV airport and be taken to the Richmond Hill Funeral Home.
I'm asking, if you have the time, to help us welcome Jim back to Richmond Hill and show Phyllis love and support by coming out waving, clapping, or holding up a US flag or Christian flag, (both meant so much to Jim).
Jim Brackeen spent his life serving our Lord and others, let's give him what he deserves. (He will arrive at SAV airport around 1:49PM, and be taken the RH Funeral Home.)

Lagertha showing off her new mobility harness.

Her handler has been doing well making her feel comfortable in her new harness. Today was all about baby steps with the harness.

Today's lesson consisted of practicing basic obedience commands while wearing the harness and continuing her item retrieval task.

Did you know…??? Why is it important to brush your dog?? It removes dead hair distributes natural oils for a clean and healthy coat stimulates the surface of the skin gets rid of dead and dry skin helps you become familiar with your dog's body And… it makes grooming appointments SO MUCH EASIER and your groomer will thank you You should brush your dog every couple of days no matter the length of his coat. Brushing is very therapeutic for gunner. He absolutely loves it, and will lay there as long as you’re willing to brush him. However, Helo tries to eat the brush the entire time you’re brushing him. 🤣🤣 We brush Gunner and Helo every two days because they have long hair and shed 24/7 🥴 and yes… Gunner filled up one trash can with hair from just one side of his body 🥴 #sdgunner #sdgunnerfund #sdhelo #greatpyrenees #dog #military #firstresponders #emt #firefighter #veteran #sdkoda #sdgunnerfund #military #veteran #firstresponder #specialneeds #autism #adventureswithsdkoda #britneekinard #servicedog #dalmatian #richmondhillga #wearerichmondhill #dogtraining #therapydog #petsofinstagram #savannahga #doglover

We are so unbelievably thankful to each and every one of our Sponsors and Donors.
