The primary mission of K9s 4 Dogtags is to provide PTSD service canines to veterans at no cost to the veteran. Service dog candidates are only adopted from local rescues and shelters after passing behavioral and temperament tests. K9s also offers a support group for families of veterans with PTSD and Veterans' Day Out events. K9s secondary mission is to provide education and awareness to the community about PTSD and the 22 veteran suicides a day it causes.
