Celebrate Assistance Dog Day by Providing Pets to Vets

Written by GGC | Aug 3 2016
 

Many American Soldiers come back home from war with life-changing injuries and disabilities. This includes invisible injuries like PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Over 400,000 veterans have been diagnosed with PTSD or TBI since 2001.

In celebration of Assistance Dog Day we want to help Patriot PAWS Service Dogs provide dogs to American Veterans. PAWS specializes in training rescued dogs that will provide comfort and other services to veterans who are suffering from mental health issues. With nearly 4 million dogs entering shelters per year and over 1 million of them being euthanized, this not only helps save the lives of veterans but the lives of animals as well! With your help, we can save more lives each day. To donate click here.
