Research shows, Mack is expanding my life span! When humans worry, you get sick. The depression sets in, it contributes to more illness. Mack clears away that space so I can be me and handle business. I can look at everything in a positive manner all awhile get that smile back on my face I had lost a long time ago. I have a better perspective on life and Mack makes it complete.

In summary, Bonnie and I have formed a bond that is so close the training has come as second nature. I believe Bonnie obeys because she does not want to disappoint me. Nevertheless the reason she has had a life-changing impact on the quality of my life that I would not trade for anything. Thank you so much to the two organizations and staff that helped me get to this point.

Be patient with the application process and understand that every dog has a different personality and finding the perfect dog for your situation will take time. The several months to years of waiting is well worth it and I am very happy that I made the decision to request my service dog Harley through the VA Dogs of Texas.

I am so grateful I found V.A. Dogs of Texas, every step of there program is top notch from helping with my application to taking the time to pick the perfect dog for me and my family. Their trainers and faculty are world class, they provided all the tools necessary for me and “Lexi the Lab” to be successful. I cannot even express how beneficial this program has been for my mental and physical health.

Dirks was what I needed when I needed it and VA dogs of TX bent over backwards to accommodate me during this time. Since then, Caleb has always been available whenever I have wanted a question answered. Dirks is now a familiar friend for many at the University of Texas at Austin while I am in my4th year of my PhD studies. Thank you Caleb, and everyone at VA Dogs of Texas

I received Corey two years ago as my service dog from the VA Dogs of Texas and he’s been the sweetest in the world. He loves everyone who pays him attention, but above all, he loves me the most. At first I thought having such a large dog would be a problem for me. But he’s such a good boy and so quiet, he’s nothing more than just another part of me.

I’d like to thank VA Dogs of Texas for suppling me with a Service Dog, River. I’ve suffered from PTSD for over 30 years.I’m single and was avoiding the world by not leaving the home, avoiding going out in public, going to the grocery store, meeting people, not getting along with co-workers and family.

VA Dogs and its Staff are very great bunch of people who care a lot about dogs and a lot about the veterans. I am so happy to have had to the chance to go through their program and become friends and still keep touch with them one year or more later.

VA Dogs of Kerrville is a miraculous agency that offers hope, companionship, and benevolence. The hope that I received from VA Dogs of Kerrville is immeasurable. They provide not only a partner in life, but a way to see a brighter future.

After struggling with health conditions effecting my mobility and balance, VA Dogs was able to match me with a service animal that helps with both. I was matched with Darby and he changed my life.
