Holding secrets and healing heroEs

The reality is stark: nearly 30% of first responders struggle with PTSD or other mental health challenges, and firefighters face some of the highest risks. Many carry these wounds in silence, hidden behind their courage and dedication.

At Secret Keepers Service Dogs, we stand beside these heroes. Our highly trained service dogs are more than just companions - they are lifelines. With loyalty as steadfast as the brotherhood, they bring comfort, resilience and healing to those who have given so much.

How to support

Because none of this is possible without your support!

Donate

Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference. Your support helps us to provide more Secret Keepers to those who need them most, enabling them to lead more fulfilling and independent lives.

Puppies

It all starts with a puppy…a very special puppy, that is transformed into a Secret Keeper. We would not be able to do what we do without puppies and we are so thankful for breeders who want to give their puppies a chance to be someone else’s hero.

Volunteer

Our nonprofit thrives because of the dedication of volunteers who share their time and talents. Volunteering not only strengthens our mission but also builds lasting connections and skills. Join us in making a meaningful impact—your contribution matters!

Sponsor

It costs approximately $30,000 to produce each Secret Keeper. From the purchase of the puppy, basic care, hundreds of hours of training, and countless amounts of loving. We could never do it all without support from our community.
