Service dogs require extensive training to be able to support Veterans with specific needs such as mobility assistance, PTSD, anxiety, and more. Recurring donations help ensure that these dogs receive the professional training they need to be matched with their Veterans.

Matching the right dog with the right Veteran is a careful and personalized process. Your donations help cover the costs of this matching process, including assessments, travel expenses, and follow-up training sessions to ensure the Veteran and service dog team are bonded and prepared.

Once a Veteran is paired with a service dog, Team Foster provides ongoing support to both the dog and the Veteran. Your donation will help fund travel for training refreshers, ensuring the partnership remains successful.

Just like people, service dogs need regular veterinary care, including vaccinations, check-ups, and emergency medical treatment. Your donation can help cover the costs of these medical needs, ensuring the dogs are in top health to perform their vital roles.

Service dogs often require specific gear such as vests, leashes, harnesses, and other specialized equipment. Your donation can help to supply these materials, ensuring that dogs have the tools they need to assist their Veteran partners effectively.

With a steady source of funding, Team Foster can expand its services, raise more service dogs, and provide assistance to a larger number of Veterans in need. This growth means that more Veterans can benefit from a life-changing service dog partnership.

As Team Foster grows, more trainers and volunteers are needed to ensure that each service dog gets the attention and care it deserves. Recurring donations help fund our trusted partners training programs for new trainers and puppy raisers, ensuring the organization has a strong team to continue its mission.
