People & Paws United Against Human Trafficking

To empower survivors and bring an end to the cycle of human trafficking. We do this through the training and placement of working dogs and a relentless commitment to human trafficking awareness, education/ prevention, and survivor support

Human trafficking is modern-day slavery, with more people captured today than ever before in human history. The stats are harrowing, making it painfully clear — our bark must be loud. Awareness and education can be the difference makers against abuse, enslavement, and repeat capture.

To bring healing, increased safety, and empowerment, Valor Canines provides working dogs to survivors of human trafficking. We foster lifelong bonds between people and paws, provide ongoing education and training, and maintain life-affirming community. 

Fighting Human Trafficking: WHY DOGS?

Our Canine Companions play a vital and unique role in supporting survivors of human trafficking on their restoration journeys. These highly-trained canines offer security, companionship, and emotional support that is transformative for survivors who have experienced severe trauma.

What Drives Us

We care deeply about healing trauma. As a Veteran-led non-profit, we profoundly understand that renewal and restoration are possible even in the most harrowing circumstances. Our collaborative approach to survivor support is always unique. We take the time to understand the healing journey and meet individuals with compassion and care in whatever ways are most impactful. Through canine match and placement, direct support, and community building, we aspire to empower survivors to reclaim their lives and find strength in a safer, more hopeful future.

Our Commitment

We approach each healing relationship with dignity and discretion. We empower our Veteran trainers to use their skills in service of human trafficking survivors, discovering a meaningful and fulfilling way to continue their service. We create a supportive community where survivors find strength in the shared experiences of Veterans. We train and place service dogs for long-term support of survivors, and provide personal safety training to end repeat capture.
