America’s VetDogs Partners with American Integrity Insurance Company to Raise Future Service Dog

Smithtown, NY and Tampa, FL, Jan. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- America’s VetDogs, a New York-based national nonprofit that provides specially-trained service dogs to veterans, first responders, and active-duty servicemembers with disabilities, and American Integrity Insurance Company (American Integrity), a premier Tampa, Florida-based property insurance carrier, are pleased to announce they will co-raise a future service dog for a United States veteran or first responder with disabilities. America's VetDogs was founded by the Guide Dog Foundation in 2003.

American Integrity’s pup, named Storm, is a beautiful 20-weeks-old female black Labrador Retriever. Storm will undergo basic training and socialization with the American Integrity staff for the next 16 to 18 months. Storm will make frequent visits to the American Integrity office and the Company’s community events to expose her to various environments that will help mold her into a confident and calm future service dog.

“Our American Integrity team is honored and excited to co-raise Storm,” said Angie Quinn, EVP/Chief Human Resources Officer. “She recently made a visit to one of our all-employee Town Hall meetings, and she was the star of the show. Our team is filled with pride to participate in such a worthy cause, and to know that our efforts will one day benefit a worthy veteran, first responder or servicemember.”

“We’re deeply grateful to American Integrity Insurance Company for their unwavering commitment to our mission of providing service dogs to veterans, first responders, and active-duty servicemembers at no cost,” said John Miller, president and CEO of America’s VetDogs. “Their dedication to co-raising Storm exemplifies the true spirit of compassion and community. Together, we are making a lasting impact on the lives of our nation's heroes.”
