One of the most amazing things that can happen is when a shelter dog becomes a service dog through the help of concerned organizations.

Just recently, Service Dogs, an organization that provides custom-trained hearing and service dogs to people with disabilities, received a $340,000 donation from the Petco Foundation. So far in their 30-year history, this is the largest grant that Service Dogs has received.

Among those veterans and Texans whose lives have changed because of Service Dogs was Kenneth Conly. He has a service dog named Ruby which he got from the organization nearly 4 years ago. He said that Ruby changed his life by helping him accomplish some tasks such as doing the laundry and opening doors.

The Petco Foundation was able to source the funds through their yearly fundraising campaign, Helping Heroes. This campaign invites people to show support to assistance animals by donating in Petco stores.
