What makes this organization unique?
The goal at Caddo K9 Academy is to train and provide service dogs to disabled veterans and first responders without any charge. This ensures that financial limitations do not prevent them from receiving the necessary and well-deserved support.
We specialize in training service dogs for mobility assistance, medical alerts, and PTSD therapy. Our puppies leave Caddo K9 when they are 12 weeks old, having obtained their AKC STAR puppy certification. They then return to us at the age of 1 year for ACK CGC plus training and certification.
Depending on the behaviors required, training durations can last between 6 months and 2 years beyond CGC certification.
Who can sign up to get a service dog?
Disabled U.S. Military Veterans and Disabled First Responders (police, firefighters and paramedics)
How much does it cost for the vet to get a dog?
FREE: There is no cost to participate.
What kind of service dogs are offered?
Mobility Assistance, Medical Alerts (Seizures) and PTSD Therapy.
How long does it take to get the new service dog?
Puppies can often be placed with the recipient within 90 days of application acceptance. As the puppies mature they return to Caddo K9 for progressively advanced training that is tailored to the handlers needs.
Where does the organization get the aminals to train?
Caddo K9 Academy operates a selective breeding program that supplies the majority of dogs needed for our program and will work with other reputable breeders when necessary.
