A huge thank you to Cesar Millan for helping the USO in announcing the 2023 USO Canine Volunteer of the Year!
Whether it’s offering a helpful paw or a listening ear, USO Canine Volunteers play an important role in strengthening the well-being of service members and their families.
The USO understands the strong bond between humans and animals, and the critical roles a dog can play within the military community to help address mental, emotional and physical needs.
The USO Canine Program includes therapy dogs, family pets and military working dog programs. Interacting with therapy dogs can reduce stress and provide a unique morale boost for service members and their families.
Congratulations and a big thank you to all our USO Canine Volunteers!
