The K9s Helping Heal Veterans program at VFW Lt. Lansdale Post 67 is dedicated to improving the lives of veterans through the training and placement of service dogs. Recognizing the challenges that many veterans face—both physical and invisible wounds of war—this initiative provides a pathway to healing, independence, and renewed purpose.
Service dogs are carefully trained to assist veterans with daily tasks, mobility needs, and emotional support, particularly for those managing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, or depression. Beyond practical assistance, these dogs offer companionship, stability, and a sense of security that enhances overall quality of life.
Through structured training sessions and veteran-centered support, the program not only equips service dogs with the specialized skills they need, but also fosters strong, trusting partnerships between each veteran and their K9 companion. By hosting this program, VFW Post 67 continues its mission of serving those who have served, creating a community of support, resilience, and healing.
