BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - The nonprofit organization Patriot Paws of Aggieland trains and provides service dogs to disabled veterans.
Organizers say each service dog takes 18 to 24 months to train, and costs around $35,000.
“Our main thing that we say is socialization, so I take the dogs everywhere with me to meet all types of people,” said Vice President Cleo Crouch.
The nonprofit says recipients will never receive a bill. They believe veterans have already made sacrifices for our freedoms.
Patriot Paws of Aggieland has been an official student organization since fall of 2013.
