Mutts With A Mission is taking a moment to pause, reflect, and give thanks for the incredible people who make our mission possible.

Our goal of providing highly trained Service Dogs and Facility Dogs to Veterans, First Responders, Law Enforcement Agencies, and U.S. Navy ships is made possible by a network of dedicated Puppy Raisers, generous supporters, hardworking volunteers, and supportive community partners. Each group plays a vital role in helping our Service Dogs in Training (SDiTs) grow into confident, skilled, and effective Service Dogs.

Puppy Raisers: Thank you for opening your homes and hearts, attending classes, training, socializing, and loving our Service Dogs in Training (SDiTs).

Sponsors & Donors: Your generosity provides the financial stability that allows us to afford expert veterinary care, essential equipment and supplies, and specialized training resources. You also help ensure our recipients are well taken care of during their two-week transfer camp by providing accommodations and other necessary support. Thank you for allowing our recipients the time to focus and bond with their Service Dogs and Facility Dogs without worrying about expenses.

Volunteers: We are lucky to have such dedicated, caring, and kind volunteers. From helping us clean our training facility, to laying mulch and weeding, our volunteers do it all! We appreciate the time and energy they put in to making us shine!

Community Partners: The support we receive from our community is invaluable. Not only do our partners host puppy toy and treat drives, but they also provide new training locations for our SDiTs. Whether it is a restaurant, retail store, college campus, sports arena, or public transit, your involvement strengthens our mission and helps prepare our dogs for the real world.

🍂Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at MWAM!🍂
