Service Canines & Our Vets: How We Can Make It Happen

About K9s For Warriors

Shari Duval started K9s For Warriors (k9sforwarriors.org) in 2011 after her son Brett returned from Iraq with Post-Traumatic Stress Disability. Her national organization is now dedicated to helping prevent suicide among the post-9/11 veteran community by matching participants with service dogs as part of three-week, in-house programs. The vast majority of the service dogs are rescued from shelters, and they, in turn, have helped hundreds of veterans in their fights against PTSD and other forms of trauma, often with life-changing results.

About the Big Fish Foundation

The mission of the Big Fish Foundation (bigfishfoundation.org) is to help veterans transition to civilian life by providing them a renewed connection to the fundamental principles of service. The organization is headed up by retired U.S. Marine Corps officer and CrossFit athlete Brian “Tosh” Chontosh (aka “The Big Fish”), an Iraq War veteran who was awarded the Navy Cross for his heroism in Baghdad in 2003. Based in Colorado, Big Fish organizes a wide range of programs and events with the goals of promoting psychological wellness, effectively managing post traumatic/combat stress, and preventing suicide.

Rogue strongly supports both of these charitable efforts, and we're pleased to do our part to contribute to their causes.
