K9S for Warriors – Born by a Mother’s Love 
The Founder of K9S for Warriors is SHARI DUVAL. K9s For Warriors was born from a Mother’s love for her Son. SHARI set her mind to finding a way to help her son Brett, who came back after two tours in Iraq a different man. Brett was a bomb dog handler for the Department of the Army. Knowing there were hundreds of thousands of veterans experiencing a similar struggle with the invisible wounds of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Shari set her mind to finding a way to help. With Brett’s expertise in dog training as her motivation, Shari began K9s For Warriors in 2011, rescuing dogs and training them as Service Dogs for our veterans.
Since then, K9s has paired 630 Warrior/Service Dog teams and has saved over 1,205 dogs.
