The K9 PTSD Center is a permanent sanctuary for our K9 heroes that have served throughout the world. The center was founded to serve K9s that developed PTSD in the line of duty. We are their only hope to prevent them from being put down due to their work-related mental injuries. We pride ourselves on safety: safety for the dogs, and safety for humans. All visitors to the facility are made aware beforehand that our dogs have an average of 10 human bite incidents. Because of their known high bite history and high aggression levels, MANDATORY POLICIES are in place - all visitors are REQUIRED (NO EXCEPTIONS) to adhere to these policies upon entering the RESTRICTED AREAS, which are clearly marked with signs. To this date, we can report that there have not been any incidences of human or dog injuries, and we intend to keep it that way by maintaining strict compliance with these policies:

• Every person who wishes to enter the restricted areas must complete the below courses in advance of their visit, at their own expense - these courses are REQUIRED (NO EXCEPTIONS) by our insurance provider.
• Every visitor is REQUIRED (NO EXCEPTIONS) to wear protective bite gear provided by the center. This includes a bite suit and a helmet with a full face shield.
• Every visitor is REQUIRED (NO EXCEPTIONS) to be accompanied by a K9 PTSD Center staff member and cannot walk freely about the property.
