Operation K9 Fall Fundraiser

Our Background: Joan Moss, founder of Operation K9, brings over 40 years experience in training K9’s for both civilian and law enforcement. Joan’s love for her job, training dogs to save lives, has prompted this very noble cause. She believes that each Service Dog during a bonding process can save a Combat Veteran that sustained traumatic injuries. The Service Dogs allow many of these combat soldiers to return to work, interact with their family, or just get through the night without waking up alone, lost or confused. The reality of a combat soldier is that “scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real.” (Cormac McCarthy). Joan understands that these scars do not have to be visible and that is why she has started this non-profit organization, healing Combat Veterans one service dog at a time.

Operation K9 takes careful consideration in matching a Veteran with a trained Service Dog, Free of Charge, for those who have served in the United States Military Armed Forces post September 11, 2001. Each Service Dog Team’s training is specific to the individual needs of the Veteran. Operation K9 will be adhering to the training standards set by Assistance Dogs International and are striving to receive accreditation. THANK YOU to all who have served our country.
