America's VetDogs Honors the Congressional Medal of Honor Society with Special Tribute and Dog Naming Ceremony

America's VetDogs recognizes the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, featuring the naming of a 9-week-old Labrador Retriever and future service dog, "Honor."

“Recognizing the Congressional Medal of Honor Society through this ceremony highlights the extraordinary bravery and sacrifice of our nation’s heroes,” said John Miller, president and CEO, America's VetDogs. “We are privileged to acknowledge their contributions and are excited to introduce 'Honor,' a future service dog who will carry on their legacy as a future service dog for a veteran or first responder with disabilities.”

America's VetDogs was recently awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor Society's 2024 Community Service Citizens Award, recognizing the organization's outstanding service and commitment to improving the lives of veterans and first responders with disabilities.

The puppy, "Honor," will be raised in the America’s VetDogs’ Prison Puppy Program in Maryland, where incarcerated individuals will help socialize and teach him foundational skills that will be built upon during formal training with a certified service dog instructor. Once training is complete, Honor will be placed with a veteran or first responder with disabilities, offering enhanced mobility and renewed independence.
