Our Humble Beginnings

Dr. Heather Lane
Founder Dr. Lane is a veterinarian by training and is passionate about the life-changing benefits dogs bring to our veterans and military families. Dr. Lane holds a Master of Public Health and is board certified in a specialty that encompasses both human and animal health. Having a background in human and animal health provides a unique perspective for supporting both veterans and dogs through the process of companion animal ownership. Several generations of her family have served in the armed forces and she is grateful for the opportunities to now serve the veteran and military family community.
