The TADSAW INC mission is to provide for the training of a Medical Alert Service Dog Team (One Veteran/Client and One rescue/shelter/personal Dog equals One Team!), to improve the person’s Quality of Life and, in many cases, PREVENT SUICIDE! This is done NO Charge to the person or their family.
The TADSAW programs are:
1) TADSAW – ‘Train a Dog – Save a Warrior’ For all Veteran Service Members
2) TADSAF – ‘Train a Dog – Save a Family’ member For any Veteran’s family, spouse and/or children
3) TADSAR – ‘Train a Dog – Save a First Responder’ For any First Responder,
4) TADSAC – ‘Train a Dog – Save a Child/Civilian/Community’ member – The Rest of the WORLD
First of all, “Calling all Teams”! If you have replaced your original TADSAW Service Dog – PLEASE CALL ME at (210) 643-2901 so TADSAW can give you a new TSD number for your current K9 Battle Buddy! After all, you and your new Buddy deserve a TADSAW GEN-2 Team Number! You & Your Teammate make TADSAW successful!
Remember, if you called to receive an application, please take care of YOUR business and complete and submit your application – you owe it to yourself and your family to be part of your family and community. If you have questions, please call Bart at (210) 643-2901 ASAP, 24/7/365!

For the first time, TADSAW has released a song, “Independence Again.” Inspired by our Service Dog Program, the song reflects the journey of healing, partnership, and reclaiming freedom alongside a devoted service dog.
Many VA clinic personnel are denying assistance completing paperwork for Veterans making application to receive a Service Dog from an organization. The VA Policy 1134(2)B2016-11-28.PDF states their Service Dogs are not indicated in the treatment of mental health disorders. WRONG WRONG WRONG!
In 2016, Dr. David Shulkin, as Under Secretary of the Veterans Administration issued VA Policy 7717966 which stated Veterans with mental health issues are eligible to have a Service Dog for mobility assistance if the Veteran is unable to leave their home due to these mental health issues. Sounds like a typical government talk.
So if the VA does not believe these Service Dogs might reduce the suicide numbers, is the VA in fact endorsing additional Veteran suicides? That is the question!
The VA cannot deny you getting a service dog if they support the care of a service dog. If you continue to get push back from the VA please call Bart to help you navigate this support. Bart 210-643-2901

TADSAW provided and trained my service dog, Damon, to assist me with major depressive disorder and PTSD. Damon became much more than a service dog; he was my best friend and helped me through some of the darkest times in my life.
