In 2020, during the pandemic, SD Gunner Fund still trained 16 service dogs for veterans, 11 service dogs for children and four institution therapy dogs which were exposed to and serviced over 33, 000 children! SDGF paid over $5000.00 in veterinary care, saved, trained and adopted 14 rescue dogs. We also fed two medical facilities, six police precincts, two fire stations, one EMS station, five pharmacies and one pediatric facility all while funding over 10 local restaurants and their staff during the height of the COVID-19 shut down. They donated 8500 pounds of hurricane relief supplies to assist families in need, fed 500 meals to veterans and paid 10 exceptional need children’s medical accounts in full so that they may continue necessary therapies. This is just a small amount of what donations can do with SD Gunner Fund.

SD Gunner Fund is the recipient of several prestigious awards for their work in the community including the Lincoln Caregiver Award (2015), the Georgia State Resolution 475, the Jefferson Award (2017), AKC Canine Excellence (2017), Best Fundraising Event (2020, 2021) among several others.
