Who We Are
Warrior Canine Connection (WCC), a nonprofit organization dedicated to breeding, training, and placing highly skilled service dogs with Veterans who have visible and invisible wounds, is seeking Puppy Raisers in the Pittsburgh area to support its programs.
What We Do
In addition to raising and training service dogs, WCC’s Mission Based Trauma Recovery (MBTR) training program is unique in that Service Members and Veterans train service dogs for their fellow Warriors. This process not only helps prepare the dogs for their future roles but also provides therapeutic benefits to the trainers, such as improved impulse control, sleep, and emotional regulation, as well as reduced stress, depression, and hypervigilance. Each service dog in training has the potential to positively impact the lives of up to 60 Veterans.
