Combat Canines the DDoc Foundation

Our mission is simple; help the dogs! How do we do this? There are a variety of ways we can and do help them.Sponsorship: If your dog is sponsored by us, we are available day or night for questions, advice, assistance with veterinary bills, or linking you up with a local trainer if your retiree is having some problems.Care Packages: We send out care packages to Active Duty K-9 teams both in garrison and on deployment.Transportation: Need help getting your retired dog to you? We can help with funding the trip to ensure the reunion goes smoothly!Fundraising: We have an account for the dogs at all times, but sometimes a dog has a sudden, and expensive incident that may exceed our current balance. If this is the case we set up a separate fundraiser just for that dog. All the money from that fundraiser goes directly to that dog and is separate from the main account.Education: We often attend local events and help to educate the public on the benefits and importance of the working dogs not only while serving, but what happens once they are retired. We put special emphasis on Canine Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) and how it affects the dogs.
