The Cleveland Cavaliers have a new secret weapon & are ON FIRE since his arrival

Rock Entertainment Group introduces Reggie, the NBA’s first team service dog in training, who will be raised by the Cleveland Cavaliers and Cleveland Monsters in partnership with America’s VetDogs. Once trained, Reggie will serve U.S. veterans or first responders with disabilities.

Notably, the Cavaliers are the first NBA team to participate in raising a service dog through America’s VetDogs Puppy with a Purpose® initiative—a national nonprofit that provides highly trained service dogs at no cost to veterans and first responders with disabilities. Through this groundbreaking partnership, the Cavs will help offset the significant costs associated with breeding, raising, training and placing each assistance dog, while demonstrating their commitment to supporting those who have served our communities and country.

“Our entire team at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse could not be more excited to welcome Reggie to the family,” said Pam Frasco, Cleveland Cavaliers VP of Social Impact and Executive Director of the Cavs Community Foundation. “We’re committed to creating positive outcomes in our community and supporting local veterans. We look forward to the opportunity to support America’s VetDogs in their mission to help those who have honorably served our country live with dignity and independence.”

Reggie, an 11-week-old male yellow Labrador Retriever, will undergo basic training and socialization with the Cavs and fellow Rock Entertainment Group franchise, the Cleveland Monsters of the American Hockey League over the next 14 to 18 months. The Cavs and Monsters will host Reggie in their front office, at community events, practices and select home games to help develop him into a confident and calm future service dog.
