We've got some questions about service dogs and if Wounded Warrior Project assist veterans with getting service dogs.
Wounded Warrior Project does not have a Service Dog program nor provides veterans with assistance with getting service dogs.
However our resource center can help with referrals to organizations who could assist.
If you are interested you can call our resource center at 877-832-6997
My personal opinion is to do a lot of research when considering organizations who provide service dogs.
With the rise in need and "popularity" of
Service Dogs, Theraphy Dogs, Comfort Dogs or Emotional Support Dogs.
Many organizations are not getting the proper credentials and are asking veterans for outrageous amounts of money in order to get a dog. And some may not be properly certified or trained.
So please do your research not only on the breed of dog and if it's the right type of dog for your lifestyle but also do extensive research on the organization credentials, dog training, and certifications.
I hope this was helpful,
