K9s For Warriors is fortunate to have amazing community fundraising event hosts who go to extreme lengths to raise funds. We've had supporters row across oceans for our mission, and now this amazing group of climbers have successfully climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa at 5,895 meters (19,340 feet)! ⛰️

Then ➡️ Now Army #Veteran Alejandro always says how his Service Dog, Angel, lives up to her name by always protecting him from triggers — his safe space. Recently, Alejandro got to visit Disney World for the first time. Thanks to Angel, he genuinely 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗱 his time without constant hyper-vigilance.
