PAWS program aids veterans with PTSD through service dogs
A House bill backed by Rep. Greg Murphy and co-sponsored by Rep. Stivers and Sen. Tillis would fund nonprofits that train service dogs for veterans with PTSD. The PAWS initiative pairs veterans with certified dogs after nine to fourteen months of training, with classes at CCS including inmates at Camp LeJeune. Veterans describe life changing improvements and reduced therapy dependence as the dogs help navigate crowds, trigger responses, and daily tasks.
