Our Mission — The Wounded Warrior Fundraiser

In 2012, Rebuilding Warriors changed its focus providing companion dogs to Wounded Warriors. Warriors diagnosed as Amputees as well as those with PTSD, (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). Most of our dogs are bred especially for autistic children and have a highly sought after demeanor. We provide these dogs to active duty service members from any branch of the Armed Forces or Honorably Discharged Veterans from any service era that meet our eligibility standards.
