Frank Family Vineyards x K9s For Warriors

Giving Military Veterans a New Leash on Life

Frank Family Vineyards raised $55,000 in support of K9s For Warriors, the nation’s largest provider of trained Service Dogs for military veterans with invisible wounds of war. Thanks to your wine purchases, we proudly sponsored and named four legged-hero, Frankie, providing him with the veterinary care, equipment, and training necessary to become a life-saving Service Dog for a veteran with PTSD. On March 21, 2024, after eight months of training, Frankie was matched with retired Army Staff Sergeant, Ryan, the program’s 1000th veteran. This partnership speaks to Frank Family Vineyards’ deep-seated love for dogs and commitment to the American veteran community, and honors Founder Rich Frank’s late father, Hy, who proudly served in World War II.
