Service Dogs Healing Veterans | Reno News

A Reno-based nonprofit, Liberty Dogs, is transforming lives by training service dogs for veterans with PTSD — and they’re about to expand with a brand-new 27-acre campus. Retired Marine Eryn Redmond, who served nearly 25 years, has bonded deeply with her Labrador Annie, who’s become her lifeline through tough days — even though Annie isn’t yet a therapy dog. Redmond is preparing to pass Annie on for advanced training, while also being selected to receive a fully trained service dog herself. Director Cameron Peters, also a veteran, emphasizes the urgent need for this support, backed by research showing dramatic improvements in PTSD, depression, and quality of life for veterans with service dogs. With 10 dogs in advanced training and veteran placements set for August, Liberty Dogs is poised to launch its new campus in September — offering healing, hope, and powerful companionship to those who’ve served.
