Our Mission:
Support and empower disabled veterans and first responders through canine-assisted therapy and other healing strategies.
Big Day of Giving is here! Early Giving is now open, and the official day is May 7.
At RRUFF Healing Heroes, we fund service dog training for Veterans and First Responders living with PTSD and other invisible injuries. These highly trained dogs provide real, daily support: helping restore independence, confidence, and stability after service.
Just $25 funds one full day of service dog training, moving a Hero and Dog team one step closer to a life-changing partnership.
💙 Join us in making an impact!
Our Purpose
RRUFF was founded in 2011 with a mission to provide a safe, enclosed environment for Rocklin-area dog owners and their companion animals. As the organization grew, so did our passion to support those who serve our communities.
In 2014, that passion led to the launch of
Healing Heroes, marking a pivotal shift in our focus toward funding service dog training and mental health healing opportunities for Disabled American Veterans and First Responders living with PTSD and other invisible disabilities. For more than a decade, this has been the heart of RRUFF Healing Heroes and continues to guide our work today. For over 11 years this program has supported Disabled American Veterans and First Responders with Post Traumatic Stress and other invisible disabilities by funding service dog training classes and supporting other mental health healing activities.
Our Vision
Envisioning a world where every veteran and first responder finds healing and purpose.
Every donation helps fund service dog training and healing programs for veterans and first responders living with PTSD and other invisible disabilities. Your generosity directly supports dogs, training, veterinary care, and access to life-changing resources at no cost to the heroes we serve.
