When a veteran is battling PTSD, isolation, or despair, a well-trained service dog can be the difference between surviving and truly living. Braach Shepherds 4 Veterans is a Montana-based nonprofit that donates health-tested German Shepherds and provides specialized training—entirely free of charge—to veterans in need.Founded in honor of fallen soldiers, this program offers more than companionship; it delivers purpose, independence, and healing. With no VA support and long waitlists elsewhere, Braach fills a critical gap—matching dogs to veterans and training both with care and urgency.Supporters of Braach Shepherds 4 Veterans are investing in life-saving transformation. Veterans report reduced anxiety, improved mental health, and renewed hope. The program has earned national recognition, including AARP’s “Create the Good” Honoring Heroes award.

Every donation honors service with service. Every dog placed is a tribute to those we’ve lost—and a promise to those still fighting: you are not forgotten.
