Protecting the Welfare of Dogs Who Serve

Diane and Sage
Sage, shown here with owner Diane Whetsel, has served in Iraq, Hurricane Katrina (in New Orleans), and 9/11. She travels around the country with owner/trainer Diane Whetsel to demonstrate how specially trained dogs can help in times of war and disasters.

Many dogs provide hard, dangerous and loyal service beside their human handlers in wars, crime prevention, and natural and manmade disasters. When these dogs are injured or fall ill, often as a direct result of their work, their services are terminated; their fate, uncertain.

Our mission is to promote the welfare of dogs who have faithfully served (often in harm’s way) in wars, police work, crime prevention, and rescue efforts through education and increased public awareness.

We are in the process of forming a not-for-profit foundation to provide the funds and support to meet these goals.

This website is currently under construction. In the meantime, you can get information by contacting us at:
