A Mission With Purpose.
Our Story. Our Purpose.
Forgotten Coast K9 began with a belief: a well-trained dog and a thoughtful match can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life. Founded by U.S. Air Force veteran and former law enforcement K9 supervisor Chris O’Brian, the organization grew from a dog-training company into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving Veterans and First Responders.
Our mission brings together service-dog training, handler education, and ongoing support. We focus on the individual, building capable dog-and-handler teams and a community that recognizes the challenges people can carry after serving others.
Private donors, corporate supporters, and our experienced team make this work possible. Quality guides our approach as we work toward reducing suicide among Veterans and First Responders.
Our coastline may have been forgotten, but our warriors never will be.
