Do you have tips you can share with your fellow service members and veterans? Share how you found your service animal.

If you have a service animal, how did you find them? My dog had just died and one of my friends who is a Virginia State Trooper told me that there was a really nice dog at the county shelter who needed a good home that he had confiscated from some people who were trying to turn him into a fighting dog. I went up to the county shelter and brought him home that very day. He has been with me for the last twelve years. Strangely enough I did not have to train him as a service dog because he all read knew what he had to do. I named him Blackie after dog I had sixty-four years ago. Maybe he is the original Blackie come back to take care of me.

I have 4 Belgian Malinois pups (18 months) that need a job! We've donated most of the litter to be LE K-9s or service dogs.

check out 4 Paws for ability in Xenia OH... I work with them helping kids with autism get service dogs, but I know they place a large number of dogs with veterans.
