At New Life K9s, we’ve served Veterans and First Responders on the Central Coast for over nine years. Our program trains and places life-changing service dogs with Veterans and First Responders diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder at no charge to them. We do this by partnering with California Men’s Colony, the local state prison, teaching incarcerated men to train the dogs that go on to positively impact lives, thereby providing rehabilitation to the incarcerated population so they can become productive members of society upon release from prison. We have trained and placed 68 dogs to assist veterans and first responders in varying capacities. With over 20,000 Veterans and First Responders in San Luis Obispo County alone, the need for these amazing dogs won’t go away soon.
