Dear Readers:
Those of you who know me personally, and my readers who read my web page, know that I have a special place in my heart for our American Vets, especially those who suffer from PTSD. I wanted to share some information about an organization that trains Shelter Dogs to help our Vets with PTSD. The organization is called "Paws and Stripes". I will be placing their link on the left side column of my web page - look for this logo:
Here is an excerpt from their web page:
Paws and Stripes is a nonprofit organization providing service dogs for wounded military veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury through integrating service dog training and education with mental health support.
We help veterans so they can live the full and rich lives they deserve.
Our dogs come only from local rescues. Our service dog trainers teach the dogs and the veterans as a team.
These dogs are not pets, they are service dogs with
the complete protection and rights granted by the American with
Disabilities Act.
Our program is funded through generous grants and donations from people like you. Our veterans are never obligated to pay a penny of the program's costs to enroll.
