Active applications; long matching wait and variable timelines
Rockwall, Texas nonprofit accepting service-dog applications from military Veterans across all 50 states. Veterans need documentation of an honorable discharge and VA disability rating; disabilities need not be combat-related. Dogs and program services are provided free of charge, but Veterans are responsible for travel to the Rockwall training facility and ongoing dog care. The official FAQ estimates matching can take approximately 24–30 months; the application page lists 12–24 months, so applicants should confirm the current estimate directly. Patriot PAWS also offers in-home working dogs under a separate application
