Some stats on veterans and their service dogs.

San Antonio is home to over 185,000 active duty military personnel and veterans, making up approximately 16.7% of the population! Veterans alone comprise approximately 11% of the city population.

Nationwide, it is estimated that over 65,000-70,000 veterans are in need of a service animal to assist with PTSD and other ailments. These animals require special training to be able to assist their veteran companions. This training, coupled with adoption costs, can be $5,000, to upwards of $50,000 for highly specialized training.

Velvet Realty Group is committed to supporting our veterans by donating 3% of our commission for the year 2024 to Sierra Delta, a non-profit organization that offers service dog training grants and general support to veterans around the nation. We've set a goal of raising $5,000 in the next 2 months, and we need your help to demolish that goal! Use the link down below to help us raise money so that we may serve those who have served us.

Save the date! We will be hosting a silent auction from November 9th-11th, with all proceeds going to Sierra Delta as well! For more information, or to learn how you can be a sponsor, use the contact form below!
