Hero Dogs' Puppy Program

Creating a service dog is a labor of love that begins even before a puppy is born. Many different people contribute in many different ways along the journey from newborn puppy to working service dog. Will you help us turn a puppy into a gift of independence for one of our nation's veterans?

If you are a breeder, we are always looking for quality puppies from breeders whose priorities are the health, temperament, working ability, and longevity of their dogs.

If you are an individual or a family living in the Maryland suburbs of Washington D.C., perhaps you might consider becoming a puppy raiser. This is the most important job of all.

If you don't think you can commit to becoming a puppy raiser or you don't live close enough, you could be part of a Hero Dog puppy's life by becoming his sponsor. Businesses, families, individuals, and groups of individuals (such as an office or a team) can all be sponsors.
