2025 Service Dogs Help Give Veterans a New Leash on Life
Making a Difference in the Lives of Veterans - Veteran's Moving Forward

Every dog we train is more than a companion -- they are a lifeline. Veterans Moving Forward is dedicated to raising and training service, therapy, and emotional support dogs for Veterans with physical and/or mental health challenges for free. Since 2010, VMF has delivered steadfast support and renewed freedom to those who served our Nation.   This is our mission. This is our promise to those who took the oath to serve our country.

VMF provides a customized approach.  Our Veterans are just as the diverse as the dogs we train, and our primary goal is to work closely with the Veteran, their family, and medical team to train their service, therapy, or emotional support dog to align exactly to the Veteran's needs.

Each one of our dogs supports Veterans and their caregivers creating opportunities for increased independence, assistance, and companionship.

YOU can help make that healing possible.  It costs between $40,000 - $50,000 to raise each dog.  Every gift—large or small—helps train the next dog that will change a Veteran’s life.
