Our Story
Home Front K9 Project 501(c)(3) was created to help "Protect those who Protect Us". We are dedicated to placing capable and stable protection K9s in the homes of deployed soldiers, sailors, and Marines.
Home Front K9 Project is lead by veteran Navy SEAL Richard Graham to empower families through the amazing relationships we have with our K9 companions.
Just as Service Dogs work wonders in the lives of so many families around the world, they make an even greater impact in the broken spirits of our troubled veteran community. Currently there are over 22 veterans who commit su***de everyday across our great nation. This is unacceptable.
Home Front K9 Project is currently embedding service dogs into active duty families so we can start the "re-intergration and healing" process for our military war fighters before they are veterans. Helping to mend the emotional scars early on and before they become large problems which may jeopardize the family dynamic and or themselves.
In addition, by placing these dogs within the families, our service members can have piece of mind about their family back home, knowing that a highly cable K9 is by their side, willing and able to protect them. This will allow the war fighter to stay focused on the mission and increase their likely hood of returning home safely with their team mates.
As you can imagine this is no easy task, as Multi-Purpose K9's take much training to prepare them for this mission. Likewise the family must receive training in how to work with the K9 and help integrate it into their lifestyle. This is why Home Front K9 Project will also host these families at the Deep Woods USA facility in Central Florida to partake in training events for the entire family with their dog. These training events are great opportunities for the family to work together and build relationships with each other around this very special creature.
You can be apart of our mission! We are looking for sponsors to help fund our project by assisting in the cost of purchasing the K9 from a breeder, the cost of training the K9, and the cost of hosting the families for their training and experience of adding a great and loving animal to their families. The results have been incredible so far, and we are just getting started! HFK9 “BORN TO SERVE!”
