Dogs2DogTags

Dogs2DogTags Our primary goal is to provide military veterans a loving, canine companion. We are committed to standing by our veterans, and keeping them aware that we care.

What We Do

We create opportunities to save at risk dogs, train them, and place them with deserving service members who have been diagnosed with post-combat stress and anxiety. There is no out of pocket cost for the veteran to receive a trained dog, and they gain a constant companion to help them cope with the unique challenges of their everyday life. Who We Are

We are a group of men and women wh

o have either served in or worked closely with our military. We’ve seen the difficulties that our men and women face when returning to civilian life, and we’ve known men and women who have tragically contributed to the unprecedented rate of veteran suicides. Torre’s Story

The idea for Dogs2DogTags came to Torre Willadsen when he was deployed as a civilian contractor working with military dogs in 2012. During his time with the 7th Marines, he developed close bonds with dogs and dog handlers alike, and when dog handler Chris Van Etten was wounded, Torre worked hard to help keep Chris and his dog Harley together during Chris’ recovery. Torre suspected—and then saw firsthand—the profound effect a canine companion could have on a wounded man’s frame of mind at a difficult time. And that’s when Torre knew that he wanted to bring that kind of unconditional support to those back home struggling with post-traumatic stress. Staff:
Torre R Willadsen: President & Founder
Sergeant Major Ryan Hermance (USMC): President North American Operations
Brek Rammer: VP of North American Operations
Jennifer Tisch: Chief Operations Officer

Saw our new billboard on my way to work and had to stop - still amazed by how far we've come.

We've grown faster than we imagined, which brings both excitement and new challenges.

For those who don't know me, I'm Tammy Graf, Executive Director at Dogs2DogTags. If you're looking for partnership opportunities that create measurable impact in veterans' lives and the lives of dogs we rescue, I'd love to connect.
