Dogs For Life is a non-profit organization devoted to improving the quality of life for Veterans and other individuals, through training service and hearing dogs & owning and operating an off-leash dog park.

Dogs For Life's trained service dogs enrich people’s lives – providing ears that hear smoke alarms, paws that tap a 911 button to call for emergency assistance, legs that provide added mobility, and pressure to calm anxiety attacks. The fastest growing need for assistance dogs in Florida is among the brave men and women who have served in the United States military or as First Responders.

Check out this video for a great overview of this charitable organization.
