We Do What We Do For Our Veterans because...
You are Loved and WE, your fellow Veterans, Brothers and Sisters need you. We care about you and want the best for you. But we can’t help you if you don’t reach out...
There are many people that need the services of a 'Task performing' Service Dog due to disabilities while others may only require an Emotional Support Animal.
WhiteHaven Canine is pleased to be offering training for ESAs. We obtain dogs from local shelters or donated from individuals, train them in obedience & service as an ESA, then donate the animals to Active Duty members & Veterans at no cost to them.
If you are a Veteran seeking an ESA, please complete the application in the following link:

Please, Help Us To Help Our Veterans!
Save a Dog, Help a Veteran...
Who knew that taking your family pet to obedience training classes could save the life of both a shelter dog and provide desperately needed support to veterans!
WhiteHaven Canine founder and Executive Director, Alan White’s mission is to do just that. As a Veteran & Military K-9 trainer and Service Dog owner himself, he uses the proceeds from obedience classes he teaches to carefully select and train shelter dogs to be Emotional Support Animals (ESA’s) for veterans in need. This year we are kicking off a capital campaign to build a facility so that we could help train and match more ESAs with deserving Veterans.
*** UPDATE *** With the use of land and a building being offered, our goal has changed. We have decreased the need from $450,000 to only needing to raise $160,000 for the updates and training equipment needed to bring the facility up to be useable to hold classes (rain or shine; hot or cold!) for our clients and train support animals to further our mission.
