Who We Are
Founded in 2007 by a WWII Veteran and liberated POW, Vets Helping Heroes, Inc. is a National not-for-profit charity with tax exempt status under section 501c(3) of the IRC. Since its founding, Vets Helping Heroes has raised almost $8,000,000 and has sponsored over 450 highly-trained, accredited service dogs (Guide Dogs, Service Dogs and Facility Dogs) for wounded American Veterans and Active-Duty Military personnel who can benefit from a service dog.
Our Mission
The Mission of our all-volunteer Board, comprised of community leaders, professionals, philanthropists and retired high-ranking Veterans is to raise funds to purchase highly-trained, accredited Guide Dogs and Service Dogs to help the disabled Veterans who have worn the uniform of our Country.
How Our Heroes Benefit
Service dogs provide independence and service 24/7/365. Guide Dogs allow the visually or hearing impaired Veteran to be independent, giving back their sense of being a whole person navigating the world. Service Dogs assist Veterans with mobility and balance issues stand and walk safely and independently; and help those with PTSD and TBI. Facility Dogs provide a source of unconditional love to Veterans who are confined in hospitals or in other facilities for long-term care, as well as on active-duty military bases to provide a needed calming influence.
