Title: Guardians of the Invisible Wounds:

Why U.S. Veterans Still Need Service Dogs

Too many veterans are fighting a second war — and they’re doing it alone.PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, and combat-related anxiety affect hundreds of thousands of former service members. And yet, many of the most effective tools for recovery — like trained service dogs — remain out of reach.

What’s inside our new report & podcast episode:

• Over 500,000 veterans are affected by PTSD annually

• Service dogs reduce PTSD symptoms by up to 66%

• VA does not fund service dog training for mental health

• The SAVES Act (H.R. 2605 / S. 1441) would fund service dog placement through VA partnerships

• Backed by real veterans’ voices, case studies, and scientific data
