Paws for Purple Hearts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit service dog organization that recently joined the Virginia Chamber of Commerce last month. We are dedicated to improving the lives of America’s Warriors facing mobility challenges and trauma related conditions such as PTSD and TBI by providing the highest quality service dogs and canine assisted therapeutic programs. We want to continue expanding our Virginia site to reach all of those who would benefit from our program. Here is a list of the places we currently provide canine assisted therapeutic programs:
- Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center
- Fort Belvoir USO Warrior and Family Center
- Richmond Airport USO
- Poplar Springs Hospital
- Hampton VA Medical Center
- Boulder Crest Retreat
- Melwood Veterans Retreat (Operation Tohidu)
Our staff here look forward to the new connections and possibilities that will come from being part of the Virginia Chamber of Commerce. There are many ways to get involved with our mission by either donating, volunteering, or by just spreading the word. Check out our website for more information!
