Wesley, a disabled veteran who bravely served our country, has just experienced an unimaginable loss. His loyal and loving service dog, Hero, passed away far too soon after a short illness. For years, Hero was more than just a dog—he was Wesley’s lifeline, providing invaluable support in countless ways. From assisting with mobility and retrieving dropped items to offering comfort during difficult moments, Hero was always by Wesley's side, helping him navigate daily life.

Hero was a full-access service dog, and the bond they shared was undeniable. Wesley, an active member of Working Dogs for Vets, relied on Hero not just as a working partner, but as a constant companion who brought strength, independence, and emotional support. Losing Hero has left a significant gap in Wesley’s life, both emotionally and practically.

In addition to the emotional toll, Wesley is now faced with the financial burden of paying off Hero’s veterinary bills from the final illness. These expenses have placed an unexpected strain on Wesley and his family during an already challenging time. While the family is committed to getting Wesley another service dog in the future, right now, we’re asking for your help to lift this heavy burden.
