Canines for Service is an organization that provides veterans from all conflicts with service dogs at no cost. They celebrated their 25th anniversary a few days ago which is also within the Service Dog Awareness month.

Bethany Leighton, the organization’s executive director, said, “We partner with shelters to adopt dogs from local shelters and we do have some dog breeders who donate puppies. We train them for 16 months and we partner with veterans who have PTSD, a traumatic brain injury or mobility challenges who are looking for a service dog to overcome that challenge.”

Service dogs help a lot of people find hope and remain functional despite having emotional, mental, and physical challenges. It is right to honor their efforts this month by teaching others to respect the boundaries of these animals and not interrupt them as they work.
