Service dogs for military veterans
Wayne and Dixie
A decorated Marine Corps veteran, Wayne served for over 3 years, primarily in the Middle East. Currently, Wayne and his fiancé are working as cross country truck drivers with Dixie riding shotgun. Dixie has earned all of her service dog certifications and is enjoying her mission with Wayne.
Sadly, after 5 years of loyal service and companionship, Dixie passed away in March of 2025. She was a remarkable dog and had an impact on all who knew her. Rest in peace dear Dixie.
"Dixie has been an amazing addition to the family. She gives me a positive outlook on the world. When I am stressed or having a bad day she brings a smile to my face and turns a bad day into a good day. Dixie helps me navigate large crowds better. Honestly, words don't do justice for what Dixie does for me. She truly is a blessing for me and I am thankful to have her in my life." - Wayne
