Paws for Purple Hearts is a nonprofit organization in the civic and social sector based in Penngrove, California, focused on supporting active duty Service Members and Veterans who face PTSD, TBI, MST, and mobility impairments. The organization operates a Service Dog Program in partnership with the Bergin University of Canine Studies, selecting and training service dogs and pairing them with Warriors through a rigorous matching process and a formal Training Camp that emphasizes long-term companionship and effectiveness as a team. Additionally, PPH runs a Canine Assisted Therapy program that uses service dog training sessions supervised by experienced trainers to help Warriors reduce symptoms while aiding peers, and an Obedience Training Program open to service members, veterans, and their families to improve relationships with their own dogs. All services are provided at no cost to participants, reflecting the nonprofit’s reliance on volunteers and donors. A recent development includes collaborations and events highlighted in 2024, such as partnerships with educational and veteran-affairs organizations and a service dog graduation ceremony hosted by the San Diego chapter.
