Wounded Warrior Project and paws4people = paws4vets in West Virginia

The Wounded Warrior Project® [www.woundedwarriorproject.org ] and the paws4peopleTM foundation [www.paws4people.org], in Strategic Partnership, announce the creation and implementation of:

The paws4vetsTM Program, a Morgantown, WV based, unique and dynamic, K-9 centered, recovery/intervention program for Veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) and/or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). This program primarily uses dogs rescued from shelters prior to their being euthanized.

The AfghanDogZTM Program, a Morgantown, WV based, program designed to bring dogs from the war zone in Afghanistan to the United States. These dogs were adopted by American soldiers serving in Afghanistan. Some soldiers are able to bring the dogs they adopted home (to the U.S.) while others are not. These remaining dogs then become available to the AfghanDogZ Program.

What does this have to do with Southern Maryland? - paws4people and its assistance dog programs and online assistance to other nonprofits is rapidly expanding throughout the Washington DC area and surrounding regions.

Also, the nonprofit paws4people Foundation is largely supported by donations and purchase of their online charity raffle tickets - support a Veteran, support a service dog, and possibly win great cash prizes...win-woof-win!

Veterans Charity Raffles for Veteran Nonprofit Fundraising Efforts

Following up on our last post concerning Paws4People - there's a very special charity raffle underway to specifically benefit the "Paws4Vets" foundation, US military veterans and associated nonprofits.

Veterans Charity Raffles Fundraising for Veterans Service Dogs


Retired USAF Colonel Mike Turner remarks "Join me in helping paws4vets(TM) match trained Service Dogs to soldiers returning home with PTSD, brain injuries, blindness, physical disabilities and burns. In over ten years as a fundraiser for non-profits, I’ve never seen so much value added at every point in an altruistic program. Our wounded vets are thrown a lifeline to find their way back to their loved ones. The dogs, often rescued from certain death, are restored to health, cared for and loved for the rest of their lives. The prison inmates training the dogs for our soldiers get self-esteem and post-prison job opportunities for the first time in their lives. And this revolutionary way for all of us to support our vets also gives you extraordinary odds to win hundreds of prizes up to $1M."

Simply visit the Paws4Vets veterans charity raffle to buy raffle tickets, and support these worthy causes.
