SAN ANTONIO — KENS 5 is supporting K9s for Warriors and their mission to train dogs to serve a special purpose.

The organization rescues dogs from local shelters and then trains them to help veterans who struggle with thoughts of suicide or who suffer from PTSD.

A decline in donations during the pandemic caused the group's waiting list to get a service dog to go from two years to four years.

That's too long for our veterans to have to wait for the support of a service dog that could make a huge difference in their post-military life.
