We are grateful when people donate a large breed puppy to K9s For Warriors, giving them a bigger purpose. When owners and/or breeders offer puppies for our program, we conduct a preliminary phone screening, followed by a hands-on evaluation to ensure they are a suitable fit.

​

K9s For Warriors gives consideration to many factors, including:

​

• Sociability, trainability, confidence and a willingness to work

• Calm temperament

• Eight to twelve week old puppies only 

• When full grown, the dog measures at least 22 inches tall (from the floor to the top of the shoulders) and at least 50 pounds

• In good health, with a full record of health history including proof of genetic testing and hip evaluation on dam & sire
