My Nonprofit Reviews

I am a Disabled Veteran who was part of the Veterans Administration Service Dog Pilot Program in Florida, like myself and counless others, we had the rug pulled from under our feet, myself after between 4 to 5 years of waiting on the VA powers that be. I was then contacted by Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs and became a recipient of Xena and as Xena became ill with time and age and had to be retired, I was then and to date the recipient of Rocket, a black German Shepperd, that is about 4 years trained at the expense of aproximately $22,000.00 at no cost to me. Both dogs have been a lifesaving blessing. Rocket allows me to navigate the minefield that are my physical and non physical or invisible wounds on a daily basis as hes aware of my hormonal imbalances that at times paralyze my limited day to day activities and has allowed me to try to be able to function better. Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs set me and others like myself to be able to succed where the VA, meds and other methods have failed. There are 22 veterans that commit suicide on a daily basis. Its not a quick process to get a Medical Service Dog as the animal goes thru early training, then placed in a foster home while still getting individual training for a future recipient and this didnt happen overnight but what did when its was all said and done was the mutual bond between (then Xena and now) Rocket and myself as they started to save my life from day one.
I have found myself wanting to spread the word about not only this great organization and what these wonderful animals do but in the hopes of reaching others like myself who might not be aware that theres hope and its just a bark and a kiss away.
I am living proof that Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs works and can not thank them enough.
