RANK: Sergeant


Role: Certified Service Dog and Outreach Specialist.


MISSION: Supporting Disabled and homeless Veterans and homeless citizens.

BIOGRAPHY: Sergeant Babe is more than just a canine companion she is a highly trained service dog dedicated to serving her handler and the community. With a rank earned through unwavering loyalty and specialized training, Babe works daily to mitigate the challenges of mobility limitations, turning potential obstacles into opportunities for outreach.


Babe accompanies her handler on critical missions, focusing on aiding homeless veterans, and underserved citizens living on the streets. Her presence brings calm, safety, and a bridge of trust to individuals who often feel forgotten.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH: She assists in delivering aid to both homeless veterans, and homeless citizens, often acting as "soft touch" that opens doors for conversation and assistance.

A MESSAGE FROM THE HANDLER: "Babe is my lifeline and my partner. She has transformed my life, and through her, I have found the strength to help others. She doesn't see a 'homeless person'or a 'disabled veteran' she see's a human being who needs comfort, and she gives it freely."
