"Following Captain's successful journey and placement with retired Marine Corps veteran Mark Gwathmey, the Capitals organization is excited to once again partner with America's VetDogs to begin Biscuit's journey as an integral part of Capitals Canine programming," said Capitals vice president of marketing Amanda Tischler. "America's VetDogs has an incredible impact in the military and first-responder community, and we look forward to being a part of Biscuit's formal training over the next season as he begins to learn how to best serve his future partner."
Following his puppy raising, Biscuit will return back to the America's VetDogs campus in Smithtown, NY to begin his formal service dog training. Concluding his training, Biscuit will be matched at no cost with a veteran or first responder with disabilities. VetDogs' assistance dog programs were created to provide enhanced mobility and renewed independence to veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders with disabilities.
