Transform Your Life with a Service Dog from USVSD
How We Began
United States Veterans Service Dogs (USVSD) was founded in 2018 by Cody Bellanger. At the time, Cody was the acting CEO of Southern Diabetic Retrievers (SDR) and saw an opportunity for the dogs to be given a new purpose beyond SDR, one that would still serve a greater cause. This purpose was found as working mobility and PTSD service dogs.
Apply For Our Program
Veterans who have served in their country's military may have experienced physical or mental trauma during their service. In some cases, this can lead to disabilities that impact their everyday lives. That's where service dogs come in - these specially trained animals can provide assistance and emotional support to veterans in need.
