  K9s For Warriors is a BBB-accredited charity organization located in Ponte Vedra, Florida, that has been pairing rescue dogs with traumatized soldiers since 2011. The dogs are trained to be service dogs, specifically performing tasks to quiet the symptoms of war trauma disabilities in soldiers. "The skillsets our dogs learn help these warriors with anxiety, isolation, depression, and nightmares," says Shari Duval, the founder of K9s For Warriors.
