About Paws for Purple Hearts
Paws for Purple Hearts improves the lives of America’s Warriors (Veterans and active-duty service members) facing mobility challenges and trauma-related conditions such as Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) by providing the highest quality service & assistance dogs and canine-assisted therapeutic programs; and by building public awareness about the important role dogs play in helping Warriors along the road to recovery.
“Of the approximate 800,000 veterans with assessed and perceived trauma-related conditions, about 44 percent do not seek care. Often, the price for inaction ends in isolation, alcoholism, drug abuse, poverty, and suicide,” explains Kerry Blum, Southwest Regional Director for Paws for Purple Hearts. “Canine Assisted Warrior Therapy and Service Dog Placement programs help veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury.”
