What is Paws for Purple Hearts?

Paws for Purple Hearts is dedicated to enhancing the lives of America’s Warriors who face mobility challenges and trauma-related conditions like PTSD and TBI. They provide the highest quality assistance dogs and canine-assisted therapeutic programs while raising public awareness about the crucial role these dogs play in helping Warriors along the road to recovery.


At Cotati Small Animal Hospital, we’re honored to partner with Bergin College and Paws for Purple Hearts to ensure these service dogs stay in peak health as they support our local veterans.
