关于我们

Operation Delta Dog was founded in 2013 in an attempt to alleviate the epidemic of veteran suicides and overflowing animal shelters at the same time. Working with experienced trainers and positive-reinforcement methods, we rescue homeless dogs from Massachusetts shelters and breed-rescue groups and train them to work as service dogs with local veterans who are suffering with PTSD and TBI. Assistance animals are a practical and successful way to reduce stress, treat depression, and manage the panic attacks associated with PTSD and TBI. Trained dogs, however, are in short supply--especially here in New England. A local veteran applying for a PTSD service dog will likely have to travel to the West Coast for training and will wait, on average, two to five years before being matched with an animal. In far too many cases, this is simply too late. Our veterans deserve better. Operation Delta Dog wants to improve those odds. Our trainers find the very best canine candidates, pluck them from shelters, and train them for a new life filled with purpose and affection. Local veterans can participate in training without leaving their jobs or families and find relief from the debilitating symptoms of PTSD, TBI and other challenges. The dogs get the homes they need, and the veterans get the help they deserve!
