Youth raising service dogs for veterans. Meet the program
Our Heart — NYC — Since Day One

We raise heroes on both ends of the leash.

Second chances, four paws at a time.

At-risk youth and adults raise and train service dogs for veterans — dogs that go on to steady classrooms, hospitals, and the people beside first responders. Everything else we build exists to pay for that work.

The Mission

Who the leash connects.

A veteran who is struggling gets a trained companion that can save a life. The young person who raised that dog gets structure, purpose, and proof they can finish something hard. The dog is the bridge between them.

Discipline

We pass on what the service taught us — routine, responsibility, follow-through. Raising a working dog demands all three, every single day.

Second Chances

At-risk youth and adults find real direction by doing work that visibly matters to someone who needs it.

Veterans

A fully trained service dog for someone who served and is struggling — steady company, and sometimes a lifeline.

The Heart Program
A dog trained by someone the world gave up on, placed with a veteran the world stopped seeing. Both of them, found again.

Our service and facility dogs are raised by the next generation, then placed with veterans — and trained to steady classrooms, hospitals, and the people beside first responders.
