Service dogs for military veterans

In March of 2021, Bree (named in honor of the family dog of a large donor) began her mission as a service dog for Ryan, an 8 year veteran of the Army. A native of Southeastern Massachusetts, Ryan served 8 years in the army as a member of the Military Police, serving one tour of duty overseas.  One of his most crucial assignments was providing personal security for a 3 star general in charge of a US embassy. Ryan was introduced to Bree in January of 2021, and by March had successfully guided Bree through all of her service dog certifications.

"Bree has help me more than I can ever say.  Before being paired with Bree I was in a very dark place in my life.  She is the ray of sun light that saved me. I honestly can't imagine how I have gotten along before her.  I can't thank Mike enough for what he does with the dogs and for veterans." - Ryan
