We are located in Central Florida but place dogs throughout the United States. If you would like to join our team, we have many volunteer opportunities available.

Why, PSD? Answers to the 4 Most Common Questions Asked of PSD
As service dogs become more common, people naturally have a lot of questions about the many differences between organizations.

LIVING A MORE FUNCTIONAL LIFE

"Bradley came into my life just over a year ago, but it seems like much longer than that. Bradley is full of energy and loves to help me out in any way he can. Bradley's specific training to my needs allows him to help me live a more functional life. There are certain things that I did not understand if I would be able to do again, but I found out with Bradley I can do them. He has a bond with me that a person nor a material item can provide. He is a big ball of energy, but when it's time to get into "Cape," he turns into my superhero. I am truly grateful for Patriot Service Dogs and the legacy they are passing on every year to help support wounded veterans like myself. You have touched me and my family's lives forever, and I couldn't imagine life without my buddy (Bradley). For that, I am truly grateful."
