K9s For Camo

Helping U.S. military veterans…Rescuing shelter dogs…Prisoner rehabilitation

K9s For Camo, a nonprofit in Springfield, Missouri, provides service dogs to veterans in need, at no cost. Our K9s support U.S. military veterans with a wide range of challenges, including PTSD, seizure disorders, diabetes and mobility issues. Most of our K9 recruits are rescued from shelters, many from the euthanasia list. Recruits are initially evaluated by our trainers, then off to Boot Camp at the Ozark Correctional Center. There, K9s For Camo-trained offenders provide intensive obedience and task training. Next, it’s back to headquarters for Advanced Training, honing public and home skills, before…Reporting for Duty… partnering with their veteran, supporting and empowering them as they navigate a new path in life. 

Meet our K9s…watch their journey…witness the lives they change along the way.
