Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury are serious illnesses that are taking lives every day. Our goal at Operation Overwatch is to remedy the issues of daily living through service dog companions. A service dog greatly improves the lives of those suffering, and offers our veterans and first responders a new outlook on life.
At Operation Overwatch we aim to heal at both ends of the leash.
Our outreach program serves veterans and first responders by providing them with Professionally Trained Service Dogs and animal assisted therapy. Operation Overwatch is a 501(c)(3) that rescues dogs from shelters across the country and trains them to be of service to warriors suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and/or Traumatic Brain Injury, as well as those needing mobility assistance.
Operation Overwatch plans to expand and grow to offer more veterans and service men and women the help and treatment they need. We want to take in more dogs from shelters and rescues and need the resources to expand our kennel facilities and training staff. We have lowered the price of our program significantly but would like to push further. Our goal is to offer a service dog at no cost to the owner.
Donating today will help us match another relationship and give a service man or women a new outlook on life.
20% of veterans who entered VA hospitals for treatment were diagnosed with PTSD in 2015 alone, conservatively totaling around 390,000 men and women. With an estimated 22 veterans a day committing suicide, we need to act now.
As an #Overwatch22 supporter your generous donation of only $22 a month allows us to provide essential training, administrative costs, food, and medical coverage. Donations also support our efforts to rescue as many of these dogs as possible.
Together we can begin to combat the 22 a day statistic. No donation is too small or inconsequential, and we sincerely thank you.
