K9s for Warriors provides service dogs to help veterans suffering from PTSD

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - June is National PTSD Awareness Month. 

The organization K9s for Warriors is helping veterans suffering from PTSD by providing them a companion to help with healing and recovery. 

The dogs are found mostly at high-kill rescue shelters and trained for life-saving skills.

K9s for Warriors also provides service dogs to military veterans suffering traumatic brain injury and/or military sexual trauma. 

The organization says its mission is so important as roughly 20 veterans die by suicide every day.
