“Advanced to therapy dog training for servicing retirement homes, hospitals and other facilities. A select few are able to progress to purple heart greyhound service dogs (phghsd) and undergo training for verterans with ptsd. The phghsd are taught commands as needed by the veteran like "pick it up", "cover my back" and "get help" plus other ptsd specific commands. The dogs are matched and given free to the veteran along with a training period of how to work with their dog. Ngf and its mentor partners give extensive follow up service to follow the placement of the dog with its family. The veterans are taught how to work with their dogs once they are delivered to their new home. To date this year, 120 greyhounds were graduated and placed in homes as companion or therapy dogs. Due to lack of funds for these veterans, only two dogs have been placed with veterans or other ptsd victims through the program. At the end of the year we had a possible 5 dogs able to go forward with service dog training. Not only do veterans themselves benefit, but their families, inmates and their families who learn anger management and parenting, adoptive families and communities are witness to the unconditional love of these greyhounds.”
