K9 Paws of valor

"Training Heroes One Paw at a Time"

our mission

First, we honor and support the dedicated men and women who have served our nation as veterans and first responders. We also support individuals who can benefit from the life changing partnership of a service dog.

We are committed to improving independence, confidence, and quality of life by facilitating the powerful bond between each participant and a carefully selected puppy. Through hands on training day by day,  and ongoing support the participants and puppies grow into trusted, and a highly effective service dog and handler team.

2025 Events

Together We Made It Bloom!

Thanks to all of the incredible support of our community, we sold over 500 mums and raised more than $5,000 dollars for K9 Paws of Valor. Every mum sold helps veterans train their own service dogs and continue the journey of healing and independence. We here at K9 Paw of Valor are beyond grateful for everyone who made this possible!

Pay special attention for our upcoming September 2026 Mum’s Fundraiser!

What makes us different?

K9 Paws of Valor matches each applicant with a puppy bred specifically for service and vetted for temperament and service task worthiness, instead of them waiting two years and paying as much as $40,000 for a trained service dog. Matching applicants with a puppy immediately, fosters far greater bonding with their dogs. The program creates training goals for the team to meet over the course of 2 years, while providing structure and allowing them to prove to themselves how remarkable they continue to be. Participants also become part of a community that offers valuable tools and information to ensure their success.
