“To train a service dog is to give it your all so someone else can accomplish their all.”
Be Part of Their Journey — Lift Up 2 Lives.
A shelter dog given a second chance. A person with disabilities or a veteran with PTSD gaining new independence.
When you give to Putnam Service Dogs, you’re not just helping rescue and train a dog — you’re changing two lives. Both the dog and their person. Your support helps us provide fully trained service dogs, free of charge, to people with disabilities (other than blindness) and veterans living with PTSD.
Your tax-deductible gift helps us provide service dogs at no cost.
