Military Facility Dog
America's VetDogs has trained and placed Military Facility Dogs to provide animal assisted intervention to wounded soldiers and active duty personnel during their journey to recovery at military installations, military and VA medical centers, and VA nursing homes. These dogs are important members of rehabilitation teams at various military hospitals and veterans' medical centers.
Combat Stress Control Dogs
These specially trained canines are deployed in theater for active military personnel. They offer emotional support for servicemen and women dealing with combat stress, home front issues, and sleep disorders. Working with combat stress control units, the dogs provide a nonjudgmental presence. The dogs' handlers have reported that soldiers have talked longer, and more meaningfully, to mental health professionals when the dogs were present.
