At Puppy Jake Foundation, every service dog represents hundreds of hours of training, countless volunteer efforts, and a shared commitment to helping veterans gain greater independence.

In 2025, that commitment led to some exciting milestones.

We successfully earned reaccreditation through Assistance Dogs International (ADI), reaffirming our dedication to the highest standards in service dog training. We also expanded our capacity through the purchase of Canine Craze, creating additional opportunities to train both dogs and handlers.

This year also marked the launch of several new programs, including our Endorsement Program, Purposeful Partners, and Dog Perfect, allowing us to support veterans and their dogs in more ways than ever before.

The impact was significant:

  • 41 service dogs in training
  • More than 70 veterans served
  • 31 veteran/dog teams supported
  • 174,720 volunteer hours contributed
  • 90 community events held throughout the year

Behind every number is a story of dedication, teamwork, and lives changed through the partnership between veterans and professionally trained service dogs.

We invite you to explore our full 2025 Impact Report to learn more about the veterans, volunteers, supporters, and dogs who made this year possible.
