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.

Donate and Support Our Program

Join us in supporting our Veterans by donating to our nonprofit organization, US Veterans Service Dogs. Your contributions will directly impact the lives of Veterans in need by providing them with specially trained service dogs to help them navigate daily life challenges. Together, we can help these brave men and women find their new normal and live their lives to the fullest. Your donation can make a difference - donate today and make a positive impact on the lives of our Veterans.
