Our Mission

At Dogs for Defense Foundation, our mission is to educate the public about working dog breeds, such as German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, and Border Collies, while providing rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming services for these intelligent, high-energy dogs. We specialize in training working dogs to fulfill their natural abilities in roles such as police, military, search and rescue, and other essential jobs. By helping these dogs thrive in active environments, we ensure they find purpose-filled careers or homes suited to their unique needs.

Born from over 20 years of experience through Dogs for Defense Inc., our foundation is committed to supporting law enforcement, military K-9 units, and working dog enthusiasts. We stand proudly behind the brave men, women, and K-9s who serve our country. Our work not only saves dogs but also honors their legacy as guardians and protectors.
