Our Mission
Founded in 2017, The Garret Torney Foundation is an organization set out to help Veterans battle PTSD. We will lead our efforts by providing service and/or companion dogs to veterans with PTSD, spreading PTSD awareness, and partnering with like minded charities that we know and trust, supporting veterans with PTSD, our communities and creating meaningful relationships with those involved. We exist to benefit veterans and create experiences where passion and purpose come together.
