Bill overview
The Service Dogs Assisting Veterans Act (SAVES Act) aims to provide service dogs to eligible veterans with disabilities. It establishes a grant program where the Department of Veterans Affairs will award funds to nonprofit organizations to help them train and provide these dogs to veterans who have conditions like blindness, mobility issues, PTSD, or other covered disabilities. The program prioritizes equal access for women veterans and requires organizations to evaluate the effectiveness of their service dog programs.
