Companions for Heroes connects military personnel, veterans, first responders, and eligible family members with dogs obtained from shelters and rescue organizations. Its approach brings together two needs: support for people affected by service-related challenges and homes for animals that might otherwise be euthanized. Dogs may be trained as companions or to perform tasks for people with disabilities, depending on the program and individual circumstances. The organization also promotes understanding of post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, and the value of animal adoption. Donations and community involvement help support animal preparation, training, and the relationships between participants and their new companions.
