Hope Service Dogs, Inc. Donates Inaugural Warrior Program Pup to On Duty Service Dogs for Veterans
Tuesday, December 20, 2022, Bushnell, Florida
Hope Service Dogs, Inc., is proud to announce the donation of an 8 week old Golden Retriever puppy to the non-profit organization On Duty Service Dogs for Veterans. The puppy, named Cal to honor a fallen veteran, is the first HSD puppy that will change the life of a veteran through the HSD Warrior Program.
Hope Service Dogs, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that breeds, raises, and trains golden retriever service dogs for people with disabilities. Founded in 2018, HSD has bred close to 100 puppies, focusing on health and temperament. HSD provides quality service dog prospects. The HSD Warrior Program aims to pair service dogs with veterans with disabilities. We are thrilled that Cal is the inaugural puppy for this program!
The puppies of HSD live and work all over the country. They are making a difference in lives every day! Through On Duty Service Dogs for Veterans, Cal will be trained and placed with an eligible veteran. There will never be a cost to the veteran for the puppies that are placed through the Warrior Program. HSD will also be donating Cal’s first year of veterinary care, flea/tick/heartworm medications, and food.
“I am so excited to donate this puppy through our Warrior Program!” said Victoria Warfel, Executive Director of Hope Service Dogs, Inc. “On Duty Service Dogs for Veterans is a new non-profit, and I can sympathize with the struggles that come along with that. I am delighted to be able to help a non-profit that I stand behind!”
For the last 5 years, Hope Service Dogs, Inc. has been providing quality service dog prospects that are bred, raised and trained to mitigate the unique needs of individuals with disabilities. Along with the Warrior Program, HSD programs include their breeding program and the Hope for the Future scholarship, which allows HSD to provide education to individuals all over the world.
