Determined to end veteran suicide, K9s For Warriors is the nation's largest provider of trained Service Dogs to military veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury and/or military sexual trauma. With most dogs coming from high-kill rescue shelters, this innovative program allows the K9/Warrior team to build an unwavering bond that facilitates their collective healing and recovery. This treatment method is backed by scientific research (from Purdue University's OHAIRE Lab) demonstrating Service Dogs' ability to help mitigate their veteran's symptoms of PTSD while simultaneously restoring their confidence and independence. Founded in 2011 as a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, K9s For Warriors remains committed to bringing widespread awareness to veterans' mental health and contributing to policy-level reform.
The organization's facilities include: K9s For Warriors National Headquarters in Ponte Vedra, Fl, Davis Family Mega Kennel (Ponte Vedra, FL), Gold Family Campus (Alachua, FL), Petco Love K9 Center (San Antonio, Texas), and K9s For Warriors at Heidi's Village (Phoenix, AZ).
Was the Jaguars' first golden retriever rookie teammate. Mojo joined the Jaguars while in training with K9s For Warriors, the nation's largest provider of Service Dogs for military veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury and/or military sexual trauma.
Months of hard work paid off and Mojo graduated in August of 2023. Mojo has officially been paired with Adam, an Ohio father of three and 20-year Army veteran.
"Mojo has been exposed to everything. He has been at NFL games, he has been at NFL camp, and he's been pet by fans and cheerleaders and players. I have no doubt he can do anything. The amount of exposure the Jaguars were able to give him — it must have helped his training a lot. He's a really good dog, and I'm very appreciative."
