OUR INSPIRATION
Team Foster was founded in 2014 to honor our friend, Captain Erick Foster, was killed in action. Erick was an inspiration to many - he pushed himself and motivated everyone around him to be better people... to go a little farther, to give a little more. Team Foster carries on Erick's legacy by giving back to our service men and women who have sacrificed so much. To make sure there is No Hero Left Behind.
WHY DO OUR VETERANS NEED SERVICE DOGS?
While service dogs are vital tools in the struggle against PTSD, they are also expensive and resource intensive. Just once service dog can take two years and upwards of $20,000 to train properly. Meanwhile, there is no assistance from the the Veterans Administration (VA), insurance companies or the government.
By supporting Team Foster, you can help fill that gap. You can make a difference in an injured veteran's life.
