About Tier 1 Service Dog Foundation
Tier 1’s journey to founding the Tier 1 Service Dog Foundation is deeply personal. Although he couldn’t serve due to unforeseen circumstances, his desire to give back to those who did never wavered. Tier 1 understood the challenges that wounded veterans face and knew he wanted to make a difference in their lives. Starting the foundation was his way of honoring their sacrifices and supporting those who needed it most. By providing service dogs to veterans, Tier 1 is helping them regain their independence, rebuild their lives, and experience the unconditional companionship he believes every hero deserves.
Tier 1 Service Dog Foundation actively improves the lives of wounded veterans by connecting them with specially trained service dogs. These dogs aren’t just companions—they’re lifelines, offering physical and emotional support that empowers veterans to reclaim their independence.
Founded on the conviction that no veteran should feel alone in their struggles, our organization focuses on matching highly trained dogs with each veteran’s unique needs. With your help, we can continue to make these matches and assist those who need it most.

Our Mission to Support Wounded Veterans
Returning home from military service doesn’t always mean leaving challenges behind. Some veterans face physical injuries, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, or anxiety. Our mission is simple: to ensure these heroes have the support they need to overcome those hurdles. Service dogs are carefully trained to assist with daily tasks, offer emotional stability, and provide unconditional companionship.
Why Service Dogs Matter for Veterans
Imagine trying to manage daily life while battling PTSD, limited mobility, or other service-related injuries. For many veterans, these struggles create barriers that are hard to break down alone. That’s where service dogs come in.
Service dogs are trained to detect anxiety attacks before they happen, help with balance and mobility, fetch medications, or act as a calming presence in stressful situations. They become extensions of the veterans they serve, giving them the tools to live more independent, fulfilling lives.

The Service Dog Training Process
Training a service dog requires time, skill, and resources. Every donation helps ensure each dog is ready to meet the specific needs of the veteran they’ll assist. This isn’t just training—it’s a complete transformation that prepares these remarkable animals for lifesaving work.
How Service Dogs Are Selected and Trained
Not every dog is suited for service, which makes the selection process vital. Only dogs with the right temperament, intelligence, and learning eagerness complete the program.
Once selected, these pups undergo extensive training. Tasks they learn include recognizing signs of stress, retrieving items, assisting with balance, and even helping veterans in public spaces like grocery stores. Trainers prepare each dog to respond to their veteran’s unique needs, creating a powerful bond that changes lives.
The Cost of Training a Service Dog
Training a service dog is an investment in both time and money. Fully preparing a dog for service costs between $20,000 and $50,000. This includes veterinary care, food, housing, and hours of dedicated training. Your donations have a direct impact. Every dollar helps cover these costs, ensuring that no veteran has to wait for the support they desperately need.
