Service Dogs

Service Dogs for Military Veterans

We provide reliable, high-quality service dogs for veterans with PTSD and TBI. These dogs are selected, socialized, and trained by us until they are 24 months old. To receive one of these dogs, you must apply through American Humane's Pups 4 Patriots program.

Therapy Dogs

Community Outreach

We also offer a team of therapy dogs of all ages to individuals of all types in Palm Beach County. Call us! We are ready to come to your organization and bring the fellowship and joy that comes from interacting with animals. This program is funded by grants and your donations. Once they reach 24 months of age, some dogs are donated to local facilities to live with and bring love to their residents.

Your group may also come to us! We offer training in dog brushing, walking and bathing, but you may also visit just for fun. We welcome help with our puppy socialization program.

Facility Dogs

Program dogs may be placed as facility dogs with therapeutic communities and/or used in therapy dog visits in hospitals, schools, and nursing homes.

Who We Are

Marti Hohmann Probst and Ben Probst have trained hundreds of service dogs for people with PTSD and mobility. Air Force veteran Scott says of his dog Mars: "He is living a great life and taking amazing care of me. I can't imagine life without him."

Marti and Ben have also trained or certified therapy dog teams that visit hospitals, nursing homes, and public and private schools. These include Goldendoodle Charlie, a therapy dog for two fire stations; Nova, a therapy dog for The Conservatory School of North Palm Beach; and Misty and Caleb, faciltiy dogs at Jewish Association for Residential Care.

How to Help in Person
