Resources
Dog Tag Buddies works hard to do everything we possibly can for our veterans.
Whether that be handing over a leash, helping them through training, or being there whenever they need to talk, we always want to be an available resource for our vets. We want nothing but the best for those we serve, and the links below provide many different sources of helpful information.
We may not be able to solve the problem on our own, but together we can help veterans lead more fulfilling lives.
