Change a Life Today

"Tucker's support allows me to go places and do things I wouldn't have even tried without his support. "  - Phillip

Everyday 20 veterans take their own lives. Everyday the friends and family of 20 veterans are traumatized by an incredible loss. 


The specialized training of a service dog is comprehensive and expensive, starting with the acquisition of a puppy having impeccable physical characteristics and neurological markers. Training begins at birth with the puppy raiser, and moves seamlessly to Dog Alliance personnel when a vetted puppy is accepted into our accredited program.


Each dog progresses through 18-22 months of training - 7 days a week. Post-adoption support is provided for each veteran-dog team including annual re-certification. Our Hounds for Heroes service dogs are provided at no cost for veterans disabled by combat related PTSD and/or mobility challenges.     


The Dog Alliance and Hounds for Heroes are service programs are recognized with full accreditation from Assistance Dogs International (ADI), the leading authority in the assistance dog industry. Our combined program - 1 of only 135 accredited in the world - is staffed by professional, CPDT-KA certified trainers and trains dogs bred specifically for temperament and excellent health.


Austin Dog Alliance dba Dog Alliance is a 501(C)3 nonprofit organization based in Cedar Park, TX. EIN# 20-4797768. Donations are tax deductible.
