Aim Hi

The path to freedom
can be a reality
with a Service Dog

WHY A DOG? Dogs have served humans for years in work, sport, play, and companionship. Dogs give people unconditional companionship and devoted service. A disabled recipient and their dog establish a bond of friendship and understanding that is unique. The recipient gains a precious and invaluable feeling of independence and confidence.

WHO IS AIM HI? The Aim Hi Service Dog Training Centers are a pilot program developed by the United States Army Veterinary Services, the Medical Command and the Law Enforcement Command to benefit all branches of the military within the Department of Defense.

WHO CAN RECEIVE A DOG? Eligible Armed Forces Veterans, Retirees and Exceptional Family Member Program enrollees may apply for a service dog.
