About the Veteran-Canine Alliance

When you donate your car to Veteran–Canine Alliance™, you are doing far more than getting a tax deduction. You are directly helping save an at-risk shelter dog from being euthanized and giving a U.S. veteran a renewed sense of purpose, connection, and hope.

Many veterans leave the military feeling lost, without mission, camaraderie, or structure. At the same time, countless dogs in overcrowded shelters are labeled “unwanted” or “sick” and quietly placed on euthanasia lists. Your vehicle donation helps bring these two forgotten worlds together.

The proceeds from your car fund the rescue, medical care, training, and placement of these dogs with veterans who are uniquely equipped to help them heal. In return, the dogs provide unconditional love, daily routine, and a powerful reason to get up each morning.

One donated car can save a life, change another, and help build a future sanctuary where neither is abandoned again.

Edmond, M., California

I looked for a car donation charity and I decided to donate to the Veteran-Canine Alliance and I could not be happier. The donation process, from the initial call to the same-day pickup could not have gone smoother. All of the paperwork was handled for me and I got my tax deduction receipt soon after. Thank you!

Tracy, L., California

Donating my car was so much easier than I expected, and knowing it helped a veteran and a rescue dog made it feel incredibly meaningful. The charity handled all the details, picked up the vehicle quickly, and sent the paperwork I needed for my taxes. Instead of trading it in for a few hundred dollars, my old car became a fresh start for two lives, and that feels priceless for me and my family too.

Ken, Y., California

I’d never donated a car before, but this process was simple from start to finish. A quick phone call, free towing, and clear communication. Knowing my old SUV is helping a veteran partner with a rescue dog feels so much better. We thank our trips and appreciate their service!

Why This Program Works

Veterans and at-risk shelter dogs are fighting different battles, but they’re hurting in the same way. When service members leave the military, they often lose their mission, their team, and the structure that once defined their lives. At the same time, countless dogs sit in overcrowded shelters, mislabeled as “unwanted” or “sick,” and quietly moved toward euthanasia.

Veterans are trained in exactly what these dogs need most: stability, calm leadership, consistency, and loyalty. Shelter dogs offer what many veterans are missing: unconditional love, daily routine, and a powerful reason to get up each morning.

Veteran–Canine Alliance™ works because it doesn’t just “help a veteran” or “save a dog” in isolation. It brings two forgotten souls together and lets them heal each other. A veteran gives a dog safety and structure. A dog gives a veteran purpose and connection. Together, they rebuild trust, identity, and a shared future.
