Meet Hero!

Hero joined K9s For Warriors from York County Animal Control in North Carolina. Hero and Army veteran Christopher graduated in November 2019. K9s’ service dogs must weigh a minimum of 50-60 lbs. and be at least 24-inches high at the shoulder because one of their tasks is Brace, where the dog will stand firm and the handler will use the dog’s hips and shoulders as a “brace” to provide leverage when trying to get up from a seated position. A huge thank you to this month’s Good Deeds partner, Merrick, for their generous donations to organizations like K9s for Warriors!
