Jefferson City, Missouri

At K9s On The Front Line Missouri, our mission is simple — but powerful: to save two lives at once. We rescue dogs from shelters and transform them into highly trained service dogs for Veterans and First Responders who battle invisible wounds.

Now, thanks to the incredible support of our community and sponsors, that mission has a permanent home — the Diamond Pet Foods Training Facility in Jefferson City, Missouri.

This space isn’t just a building. It’s where healing happens every single day.

🐾 Where Healing Takes Place

Every week, the training floor fills with energy, focus, and heart. Veterans and First Responders train side by side with their service dogs — learning trust, communication, and the skills that change their lives forever.

Our 7½-month training program transforms shelter dogs into specialized partners, providing comfort, protection, and a renewed sense of purpose to those who’ve sacrificed so much.

Each leash connects two stories of survival — a rescued dog and a Veteran learning to live again.

💪 Beyond Training: Building Whole Lives

The Diamond Pet Foods Training Facility has also become a hub for wellness and education. With the support of Fortified Roofing & Siding, we’re proud to host Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University, a nine-week course offered free to Veterans, First Responders, and their families.

Because healing means more than emotional recovery — it’s about rebuilding confidence, stability, and purpose in every part of life.

🇺🇸 A Symbol of Hope

Outside, new American flags now line the parking lot — waving proudly as a daily reminder of courage, sacrifice, and freedom. Inside, every bark, every handshake, every graduation ceremony stands as proof that the community’s investment is changing lives.

This is where healing happens — one team, one dog, one Veteran at a time.
