OUR MISSION: Valor Service Dogs is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization that helps wounded post-9/11 veterans and first responders regain their independence, return to civilian life, and maintain successful partnerships through the training and placing of mobility assistance and PTSD service dogs. In addition to aiding veterans and first responders in community reintegration, both physically and psychologically, Valor Service Dogs bring awareness and education to the general public on service dogs, their training, and the laws that allow service dogs to be active members of society.

How has VSD been impacted by 9/11: 
Valor Service Dogs serves the two largest professional populations who not only responded to the attacks on 9/11, but those who subsequently fought the war on terrorism that followed.  Both combat wounded veterans and first responders wounded in the line of duty often face years if not a lifetime of mobility and psychological challenges.
