## Resource

A local nonprofit, Midwest Battle Buddies, just landed a $5,000 grant to keep training service dogs for veterans in south-central Kansas—dogs that don’t just assist but actively help vets manage PTSD and brain injuries. What sets them apart? Veterans aren’t just recipients—they’re co-trainers, bonding with their dogs over 9-15 months to build custom support teams. These dogs learn to navigate real-life situations, like creating space in crowded rooms, while veterans gain confidence, community, and deep camaraderie. All funded by donations, this hands-on model turns service animals into lifelines—and the grant ensures they can keep saving lives.
