As a referral from the VA hospital out of Tucson...I visited this facility...I was pleased to know there was one nearby my hometown... in the Army posted at " Yuma Proving Ground's" AZ. K-9 village for (Military Working Dogs) they train amid lifelike village areas typical of Southwest Asia with that said ! I appreciate with you guys do !

These people are useless. I am a 74yr old Viet Nam vet and I called them last Friday. I spoke to a receptionist and explained my problem to her. Last year l lost my Service Dog to Cancer. Had him for 12 years. A friend gave me a 2yr old German Shepard cause I was frantic with the loss of Lucky Puppy!! But I am on oxygen now and can no longer take care of her properly, so I called Paws & Stripes to try and find a Vet. to adopt her If possible, rather than take her to Animal Control. The Receptionist told me that an individual by the name of Jessie was in charge of adoptions and she would give that person my information and she would contact me and help me. I don't have much, but was planning to donate $1000. If they found "Lira" a Veteran who could adopt her. But that was a reward for finding a Vet., I made no mention of it as a "bribe", or they might give it to anyone just to get the money. It is now 8 days later, and this person "Jessie" has never made even an initial contact with me for getting any general information about "Lira". So much for helping Vets!! I will bet anything I have that if I had called to make a donation, I would have immediately been transferred to someone who would have accepted the donation. In my opinion, these people have no real interest in helping Vets. They are just another money hungry charity interested in money, more money and more money!! They are a rip off as far as I am concerned, based on my experience with them.

From the moment you really to the gate you will find a soothing atmosphere. The environment is clean and dog friendly. And if you're looking for a well-run nonprofit for veterans to support you couldn't find a more worthy place.

Ladies, Rescue Dogs accepted into training have been vetted (checked by a trained professional for temperment, trainability and physically capable to perform the job). Dogs will have basic obedience training before venturing into the public (and many will be advanced). There are PLENTY of places to begin socially introducing new partners to the hustle of a working dog. Dog parks, pet stores, most feed stores, dog-friendly cafes, walking around the neighborhood... I have raised puppies thru 4-H for guide dogs and later received my own pre-trained, pre-selected service-dog partner. I have applied for my new dog HERE instead any of the others. I want to train my dog, MY dog, that I choose from a group of CAREFULLY pre-screened canidates. I am moving to Rio Rancho to begin finding and training my new life partner.

I Google a lot of information because I can't comprehend what I read and I am a disabled veteran in need of serious help. Home has 60,000 plus dollars in untold damages and I can't get help from anyone.
