Paws for Purple Hearts

Paws for Purple Hearts (PPH) is an organization dedicated to aiding the healing process of our returning combat veterans. The program teaches those with psychological scars to train service dogs to assist their comrades left with physical disabilities.

The process of training a service dog for a fellow veteran helps address many of the symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Training the dogs enhances self worth, provides an opportunity to practice emotional regulation, and creates a reason for participating in new social relationships.

The service dogs are trained to assist in daily activities, while offering unconditional love and accompanying their partner everywhere.
