VA Dogs of Kerrville is a miraculous agency that offers hope, companionship, and benevolence. The hope that I received from VA Dogs of Kerrville is immeasurable. They provide not only a partner in life, but a way to see a brighter future. 

The companionship received by not only my service dog but by VA Dogs is a wonderful gift. VA Dogs of Kerrville is in itself a benevolent creature. The act of kindness they have shown to us veterans is infinite. They are kind-hearted individuals who care for those who forget to care for themselves.

Since having Phoenix by my side, I have noticed a calmer spirit about me. I have been able to travel for work, knowing that Phoenix will be by my side always waiting and watching over me.

I am a disabled United States Marine and had been looking for a service dog to help me in my daily routines. I reached out to VA Dogs of Kerrville and was greeted by kind individuals who listened and cared for me. They were able to pair me up with a wonderful creature named Phoenix.

Through the process of applying, waiting, being paired up with Phoenix, and then the training I received by Caleb, I was always made to feel at ease, reassured, and given proper guidance on how my new service dog Phoenix could help me.

Since having Phoenix by my side, I have noticed a calmer spirit about me. I have been able to travel for work, knowing that Phoenix will be by my side always waiting and watching over me. She has provided me with strength and has also given me plenty of laughs. VA Dogs of Kerrville is much needed in this world. They are the definition of caring for others.
