Herzog’s Hero Canines.
The Herzog Hero Canine Program
Transforming Lives Through Compassionate Companionship
At Herzog's Heroes, we believe in the extraordinary bond between humans and dogs, and the positive impact it can have on individuals facing challenges. Our Herzog Hero Canine Program is a testament to this belief, offering a lifeline of support to veterans, people with disabilities, and those who've experienced significant trauma. Through this program, dogs of the ideal temperament for service or therapy work are placed with individuals in need, creating life-changing connections.
How the Program Works
Applicant Selection Criteria: We carefully evaluate applicants based on two fundamental criteria: the applicant's genuine need for a Herzog Hero Canine, and the applicant's ability to provide the necessary care and support for their canine companion.
Application Process:
Step 1 - Application: To begin the process, applicants are required to complete the application form provided on this page.
Step 2 - Financial Information: As part of our thorough evaluation process, we may request financial information, such as tax returns or paystubs, to ensure that the applicant is well-prepared to care for their canine companion.
Step 3 - Interview: Once we've received the application and (if needed) financial information, selected applicants may be contacted for an interview conducted via Zoom or phone call. This interview allows us to further understand the applicant's needs and the potential match with a Herzog Hero Canine.
The Heart of the Program
The Herzog Hero Canine Program is about more than just placing dogs with individuals in need. It's about creating a profound bond that fosters emotional support, enhances well-being, and brings joy to both human and canine alike. Our carefully selected dogs are trained to provide companionship, emotional support, and assistance when needed.
