Canine Guardians Assistance Dogs' main goal is to raise, train, and place service dogs with PTSD veterans and their families at NO cost to the veteran.
We also provide these trained dogs to people with disabilities.
The training process is approximately 2 years. A Puppy Parent Trainer raises and socializes and trains the dog to perform over 90 commands including anxiety alerts, turning on lights, opening and closing doors and drawers, retrieving objects, general protect, and many more. Ultimately, these service dogs will assist their veteran/disabled partner not just with needed duties but also with the whole healing process, providing constant companionship that supports the journey to recovery and/or just a better and safer day to day life.
Our service dogs help with:
What are the emotional benefits of having a dog?
Currently, the VA does not provide service dogs for physical or mental health conditions, including PTSD. VA does provide veterinary care for service dogs that are deemed medically necessary for the rehabilitation or restorative care plan of Veterans with permanent physical impairments. If research supports the use of service dogs for PTSD, VA will provide veterinary care for such dogs. Read more information on VA and service dogs.

A Charitable Donor-advised account for charitable giving!
Open an account and contribute cash or appreciated securities like publicly traded stock, mutual funds or ETFs, or other non-cash assets held for more than a year. Charitable accts are a 501(c)(3), so your contribution is tax-deductible, if you itemize deductions
Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT)?
This account is often a gift of cash or other property to an irrevocable trust. The donor receives an income stream from the trust for a term of years or for life and the named charity receives the remaining trust assets at the end of the trust term. Talk with your estate planner.
See if your company matches-
BAY AREA COMPANIES THAT MATCH EMPLOYEE DONATIONS*
To our knowledge, the following local companies offer a matching gift when their employees make a personal donation to a nonprofit organization. This means that your employer may be willing to match all or part of your donation amount with its own donation to Canine Guardians Assistance Dogs.
A “matching gift” is a donation made by a corporation or foundation (on behalf of an Employee) that matches that employee’s contribution to a nonprofit organization. This can double, triple, or even quadruple your contribution! Our partial list of Bay Area corporations and foundations with matching gift programs is below. Contact your Human Resources department for information about your company’s program. If you find that your unlisted employer does offer a matching gift program, please let us know so that we can add them to our list.
Thank you!
*Our list was compiled from other lists found online and may not be comprehensive or up to date, so please check with your employer. Your employer will provide you with all the information needed to process your matching gift.

Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals as a nonprofit and improve conditions for PTSD Veterans and people with disabilities. Your generous donation will fund our mission to provide service dogs.
PO Box 5313 Napa CA 94581
Thank you Dr Hess, Dr Bleviss and the Silverado staff for your incredible dedication to our service dogs in training and your continued support of our program AND for your most generous monthly donation.
Can a simple donation really make a difference in a person’s life! You bet! Ask any of our grateful service dog recipients (See Testimonials), they will tell you it has been a LIFE CHANGER!
Here are 9 reasons why donating is good-
1. Experience More Pleasure
Donating money simply makes you feel better, which is something we can all benefit from.
2. Help Others in Need
When you donate your money, you help others who need it.
3. Get a Tax Deduction
If you give to an IRS-approved charity, you can write off donations on your tax return. Donating your cash is a great way to reduce the amount of money you send off to Uncle Sam, and for a good cause, to boot.
4. Bring More Meaning to Your Life
Any donation makes an impact! and can infuse your everyday life with more meaning. If you've been stuck in a rut, whether personally or professionally, sometimes the simple act of donating cash can do the trick and reinvigorate your life.
5. Promote Generosity in Your Children
When your kids see you donating money, they're much more likely to adopt a giving mindset as they grow up.
6. Motivate Friends and Family
By giving, you can stroke passions in the folks around you, which is a very positive and tangible effect of your own giving.
7. Realize that Every Little Bit Helps
Dollars add up and they all make a difference!
8. Improve Personal Money Management
If you set a scheduled $100 donation each month , that can motivate you to be more attentive to your own finances. AND, see next section below to see if your company will match your donation!
9. Give, If You Can't Volunteer
This might not necessarily be a positive effect of charitable giving, but if you're too busy to volunteer or can’t imagine being a puppy parent, then giving money is the perfect workaround. Writing out a check is a simple way to show you're willing to help others in any way you can.
