Canine Angels Service Dogs

Canine Angels rescues dogs from shelters and trains them to become service dogs capable of performing dozens of tasks for disabled American veterans and first responders. Founder Rick Kaplan artfully matches veterans with their ideal companions. Then the real training starts as they become a united team. Our Angels help veterans regain their independence and rejoin society. 

Founded in 2011, Canine Angels has already teamed more than 20 veterans with service dogs to bring relief from PTSD or assist with physical challenges. Fully-trained service dogs are valued around $20,000. But our Angels are free to eligible veterans and first responders.  
 
Their mission was to keep us free. Ours is to give them the freedom to enjoy life again.
