A Georgia woman is breeding pets for vets.

For every litter of German Shepherds Bev Beres breeds, she will donate at least one puppy to a veteran in need. On Sunday, Beres, and her close friend Wendy Galloway delivered the first service dog to a Colorado veteran battling PTSD. 

The pup with a purpose is being donated in memory of Galloway’s son, Aaron Alexander Gorklo, who took his own life in 2016 after serving in the army National Guard and battling depression. 

Beres is currently training two other puppies from this litter that will also be donated to veterans.
