Team Foster cannot help create these life-saving companionships without your help.

MAKE AN IMPACT

Many veterans unfortunately understand the complicated nature of receiving help through various forms of assistance available in our local and federal governments. Team Foster helps close the gap through fundraising and linking charities directly to the services needed to pair a veteran with a service dog.

This work shouldn’t be difficult, but we’ve never taken the easy road anyway.

See How Your Donation Makes An Impact In The Mission

  • Service dogs require extensive training to be able to support Veterans with specific needs such as mobility assistance, PTSD, anxiety, and more. Recurring donations help ensure that these dogs receive the professional training they need to be matched with their Veterans.

  • Matching the right dog with the right Veteran is a careful and personalized process. Your donations help cover the costs of this matching process, including assessments, travel expenses, and follow-up training sessions to ensure the Veteran and service dog team are bonded and prepared.

  • Once a Veteran is paired with a service dog, Team Foster provides ongoing support to both the dog and the Veteran. Your donation will help fund travel for training refreshers, ensuring the partnership remains successful.

  • Just like people, service dogs need regular veterinary care, including vaccinations, check-ups, and emergency medical treatment. Your donation can help cover the costs of these medical needs, ensuring the dogs are in top health to perform their vital roles.
