Dogs 4 Disabled Veterans (D4DV) is a non profit organization focused on rescuing abandoned dogs or dogs from shelters and training them for disabled veterans. This organization provides a method for veterans and their families to obtain trained dogs in months instead of years. There is a need to provide veterans the help, love and affection a dog can bring for recuperation in a timely manner. The waiting list for Service Dogs is about 4 to 7 years. D4DV will rescue shelter dogs appropriate for basic obedience training with the potential to become a Service Dog, Assistance Dog, Companion Dog or Emotional Support Dog.
