Why Leashes of Valor
Supporting Veterans Beyond the Battlefield
These men and women made the courageous choice to protect our freedom. Now, we’re giving back to them through a bond that changes everything – the bond between a veteran and a service dog. Each dog is trained specifically to help veterans facing PTSD, anxiety, and other challenges from their time in service.
Our dogs aren’t just trained companions; they’re lifelines, providing veterans with peace, independence, and a renewed sense of purpose.
