Acculift Donates to Dogs For Our Brave, Helps Support Rescue Dogs and Wounded Veterans

ST. LOUIS — Acculift Foundation Repair has made the first donation through its quarterly “Lifting Our Communities” giveback initiative, contributing $1,500 to Dogs For Our Brave, a nonprofit that provides professionally trained service dogs at no cost to wounded veterans who have honorably served, the company announced.

The donation was made in St. Louis, where Dogs For Our Brave is headquartered. According to the announcement, the funds will support the nonprofit’s day-to-day operations, with a focus on its training program.

“Businesses thrive because of the communities that support them,” said Karen Wilson, CEO of Acculift Foundation Repair. “Lifting Our Communities is our way of giving back, and we’re proud to support an organization that’s creating brighter futures.”

Dogs For Our Brave provides service dogs rescued from local shelters. Its 18-month training program prepares the dogs to become companions that offer practical skills and emotional support.

The nonprofit covers all training, food, equipment and veterinary care expenses for each service dog throughout its lifetime. When a dog retires, the organization provides the veteran with another service dog.

Dogs For Our Brave was founded in 2014 by Andy and Marylynn Gladstein in California. The organization is now headquartered in St. Louis and serves veterans nationwide.

To date, the nonprofit has placed 40 dogs with veterans and currently serves 15 veteran service dog teams across the country.
