Why is Hero Dogs different from other service dog providers?
Hero Dogs, Inc. has chosen to serve veterans exclusively. We will train dogs to meet multiple disabilities – mobility, hearing, and/or “psychiatric” disorders. Other assistance dog organizations traditionally train a dog for a single purpose only (e.g., leading the blind, aiding the hearing impaired). In addition, the Washington, D.C. area is home to thousands of returning veterans with special service needs. These heroes must compete with other disabled individuals applying for a service dog via a few national-level service programs.
