About TADSAW
Train a Dog Save a Warrior, or TADSAW, is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization (Tax ID#45-4556055) committed to matching service dogs with veterans who have suffered disabling injuries, including invisible wounds like PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and other traumas. A trained service dog can make an enormously positive impact on the life of a veteran by assisting with medical, physical, and emotional needs. For our brave warriors who are suffering, a service dog can open doors, both literally and figuratively, and provide constant love, devotion, and companionship.
Eric and Kazir
Tennessee TADSAW Trainer Leah Patterson shared this story about a Warrior named Eric and his new companion, Kizar.
“Eric was coming to training a few weeks ago and was side swiped head on. When his mirror busted off, it hit his window and all the debris hit him in the face. It sent him into a panic attack flashback and Kizar, not affected by the accident, crawled right on his lap between him and the steering wheel, kissing his face and bringing him back to the real world
He has thanked me every single week for finding his perfect battle buddy. Kizar does everything… waking him from nightmares, reminding him to take his meds, finding his truck in a crowded parking lot, and helping him exit a crowd of people during a panic.”
