This National Service Dog Month, we are asking you to spend more time with your companion by participating in our Walk your Dog challenge! This is your opportunity to join us in celebrating and honoring all service dogs.

The PAWsitive impact service dogs have on the lives of the people they're placed with deserves a lot more than a thank you. By taking up the challenge, you will be a part of a noble initiative to help fund our programs so we can raise and train many more service dogs by providing them with their essential needs at Dogs for Better Lives.

This September you and your dog can come together with your friends as a team, or simply participate as a duo in our Walk your Dog challenge and help us raise $100 or more by asking your close ones to support you. By doing so, you will help us reach our goal of raising $30,000 in 30 days.

You can also write a thank you message for your dog, and share your images while doing the activity with your dog and we will post it on our website.

The last 10 days of our initiative are dedicated to raising funds to pay for Vet Bills of future Assistance Dogs in training at Dogs for Better Lives.
