100/100 Program

100 SERVICE DOGS FOR 100 VETERANS 

TRAINING PROGRAM

The  100 service dogs for 100 veterans’ program is a novel concept that was  designed by veterans for veterans in an effort to directly affect the decline in the nation’s veteran suicide rate. 

As Part of our commitment to the American veteran and their families, USAVET.org has partnered with Bob Smith’s K9 Association on this collaborative nontraditional and

innovative approach to help assist veterans not only with suicide prevention as well as many diverse types of service-related injuries to include PTSD, TBI, limbs and or other extremities.

The 100-service dog project continues to deliver the potential to save 2 lives with each veteran/Services Dog Team trained. Not only the Service member/Veteran, but also the life of a rescued kennel pup, trained to become a service dog. 

We believe the most  important and recognizable results of the program thus far can be  realized across a multitude of metrics and milestones. 

However it is  never more evident than being recognized on the face of a veteran ,  while they are training their service dog.
