Our Mission

Wolfhounds Legacy is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, pair and train veterans and first responders with their dogs. We aim for the dogs to become certified through Wolfhounds Legacy as a service animal for the benefit of the veterans with PTSD and their individual needs. We are 100 % volunteer based in Cape Coral, FL. and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. By finding dogs from high-risk shelters and pairing and training them with their handlers, we are helping the lives of both the veteran and the dog. Our teams are brought together for training prior to placing the dog into the home to ensure a perfect fit.

All of the rescue dogs we bring into our care are saved from high-risk shelters and start to train in a home environment. They are introduced to children, pets, and other outdoor environments that make up the everyday normal activities of our veterans. These dogs then choose their veteran, and the journey towards becoming a service dog begins. They are tested multiple times to ensure they are the perfect service dog. All teams start out with a meet-and-greet with their rescue dog. Once a match is made, they will go on to train for approximately 9 months, which is broken into three terms . We keep in contact with all our teams, even after graduation, and most come back to help assist in training the next class.
