This month, we are proud to support K9s on The Front Line. Their mission is to provide veterans with PTSD with Service K9s. These K9s provide purpose and hope to these veterans. Every single day 22 families in the US lose a military veteran, linked directly to PTSD.  At the same time, more than a million shelter dogs are euthanized annually. K9s on The Front Line's program saves such dogs, and they in turn save their veteran recipients; both having their second chance at life with more meaning, hope, purpose and partnership than ever.
