Application for Service Dog

Step one: Completed this Application form.

Step two: Once your application has been reviewed we will mail you a request for the following;

• A Medical History form completed by your physician or primary care specialist.
• A letter of personal reference from anyone other than a family member.
• A professional letter of reference from a therapist, social worker, commanding officer or other professional with whom you have contact.
• A picture of yourself

Note: At some point during the process we may request that a media release be signed so that we may use images or video of you as a training or promotional tool for our Dogs for Veterans program.

Step three: An interview, in person or over the phone. The interview is critical to understand your needs, personality, and lifestyle in order to match you with a dog. 

Step four: This last step is the most difficult.  It is our waiting list.  Your wait may be several months or longer. 

Note: Dogs for Veterans reserves the right to decline an applicant for a service dog at any time during the application process, training or in-home evaluation periods.
