Puppy Jake Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Des Moines, Iowa, focused on supporting military veterans through the provision of well-bred, socialized, and professionally trained service dogs. The foundation aims to address veterans’ needs by pairing them with service animals that are prepared to assist with daily challenges and enhance independence, offering a structured pathway for veterans to access trained assistance dogs aligned with recognized standards. The organization operates within the non-profit sector and has a small to medium-sized footprint, reflecting its staffing level and ongoing program administration at its Urbandale office location. 

In recent years, the foundation has pursued developments such as an Endorsement Program introduced in 2025 to support veterans who already have a service dog by connecting them with an affiliated, ADI-accredited organization, signaling an effort to widen access and collaboration within the service-dog community. Notable activities include public engagement events such as the Puppy Jake Gala, which serves to raise awareness and support for the foundation’s mission of training service dogs for veterans.
