Help Us Get a Transport Van for Veterans & Service Dogs in Florida

At Pop Smoke K9 for Veterans, our mission is simple — save lives, one service dog at a time. We train and donate life-saving service dogs to veterans and first responders who are battling PTSD, TBI, MST, and more. But right now, we’re facing a challenge that could put both our veterans and dogs at risk — we have no reliable way to transport them.

We’re asking for your help to raise funds for a transport van that will serve two critical purposes:

1. Delivering Dogs to Veterans Nationwide

Our dogs are trained to meet the specific needs of each veteran. Many of our veterans are across the country, and getting their dog to them is a life-changing moment. Right now, that means piecing together borrowed vehicles and stressful logistics. A van would allow us to safely and comfortably bring these dogs directly to the heroes who need them.

2. Emergency Evacuation During Hurricane Season

Living in Florida, hurricane season is a constant threat. If we get hit, we need a safe, reliable way to evacuate our team and all of our service dogs in training. Without it, we’re vulnerable. These dogs can’t be left behind — and neither can the mission.

We are a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit. No salaries, no frills — just heart, grit, and an unbreakable commitment to our veteran community. Every dollar will go directly toward the purchase and conversion of a van for safe transport.

Please donate if you can — and if you can’t, please share.

You never know who might be able to help. Together, we can make sure no dog or veteran is ever left behind.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
