Our MissionVeteran suicide is at an all time high. A mission to stop this epidemic is why “Mission K9 Warrior” was born.

Why Mission K9 Warrior and American Elegance Pageants
American Elegance Pageants Spotlight: Supporting Mission K9 Warrior and Our Nation’s Heroes
At American Elegance Pageants, we celebrate more than grace and leadership—we celebrate purpose. Our organization strives to uplift meaningful causes that embody compassion, strength, and service. One mission especially close to our hearts is the life-changing work of Mission K9 Warrior, a program dedicated to pairing specially trained PTSD Service Dogs with Combat Veterans who need them most.
Healing Through Partnership
The journey home from combat is not always easy. Many Veterans return with invisible wounds—Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety, and emotional trauma that can impact daily life. Mission K9 Warrior helps bridge that gap by providing Service Dogs trained specifically for PTSD support.
These remarkable dogs are more than companions—
they are lifelines.
They help reduce anxiety, interrupt panic attacks, create physical space in crowded environments, improve sleep, and restore confidence and independence.
