The Islanders’ newest furry friend will go through a 16-18 month training process before becoming a fully trained service dog for a disabled veteran or first responder. It costs over $50,000 to breed, raise, train and place one service dog, however, all of VetDogs' services are provided at no charge to the individual.

Keep an eye out for the Islanders Puppy with a Purpose at Islanders games and events this season. More information about the team’s Pucks and Paws calendar will be released at a later date. Follow the puppy journey at @nyislespup on Instagram.
