EXIT Golf Outing Supporting K9s For Warriors
Hi, my name is Beth Oertel, the organizer of EXIT for Vets. I love dogs, and I love supporting our Veterans.
A few years ago I learned about an organization that trained service dogs for Veterans. WOW! That idea sure lit my heart on fire but at a cost of $25,000 for ONE dog I knew I couldn’t do it alone!
Fast forward to April 2021--we put on the first EXIT x K9s For Warriors Golf Outing and raised about $30,000 and we sponsored our first dog!
Determined to end veteran suicide, K9s For Warriors provides highly-trained Service Dogs to military veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury and/or military sexual trauma. With the majority of dogs coming from high-kill rescue shelters, this innovative program allows the K9/Warrior team to build an unwavering bond that facilitates their collective healing and recovery.
