About WarHawk PTSD Service Dogs

WarHawk’s sole purpose is to address the suicide rate that exists among Veterans, First Responders, and sepcial circumstances of PTSD. They provide PTSD Service Dogs that enable the handler to get back into public scenarios. The dog will block, circle, and crete space, as well as alert you if anyone is coming up you. In addition, WarHawk dogs are taught direct interventions in times of emotional distress.
