Two big problems, one great solution.

Our Mission
Operation Delta Dog is 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization dedicated to reducing veteran suicide rates by rescuing homeless dogs and training them to be psychiatric service dogs for veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and military sexual trauma (MST). By bringing together veterans and rescue dogs, we aim to provide healing, support, and a new lease on life for both.

Our Story
Founded in 2010, Operation Delta Dog was born in attempt to alleviate the epidemic of Veteran suicides and overflowing animal shelters at the same time. We recognized the incredible bond between veterans and service dogs, and saw an opportunity to not only support veterans but also save dogs from high-kill shelters all over the country. Since then, we’ve trained countless dogs and helped numerous veterans regain their independence, peace, and quality of life.

What We Do
We rescue dogs from shelters and train them to become highly skilled service dogs that assist veterans in their daily lives. Each dog is carefully matched with a veteran, and the training process is customized to meet the unique needs of both. Our program is provided at no cost to Veterans because we believe that they have given enough.

Our Impact
Our work has directly impacted the lives of veterans dealing with symptoms of PTSD, TBI, and MST, helping them overcome challenges like anxiety, depression, and isolation. Veterans who graduate from our program report improvements in their quality of life, including better sleep, increased social engagement, and an overall reduction in PTSD, TBI, and MST symptoms.

Why Service Dogs?
Service dogs provide more than just companionship. They are trained to perform specific tasks that help mitigate the symptoms of PTSD, TBI, and MST. From interrupting nightmares to providing a calming presence in stressful situations, these dogs offer life-changing support to their veterans.
