About Rescue for PTSD

Rescue for PTSD (also shown on its site as The Rescue for PTSD) trains shelter and rescue dogs to become psychiatric service dogs for military veterans living with PTSD. The organization adopts dogs, provides veterinary care and rehabilitation, then completes structured training and a multi-day transition program so each dog and veteran form a reliable service team.

The Rescue for PTSD operates as an all-volunteer, donor-funded 501(c)(3). It provides service dogs to veterans free of charge, runs monthly group classes to support active teams, and places dogs through foster homes and board members until teams graduate. The program reports activity across the United States while maintaining an operational base in Spring, Texas.
