Although I only know one soldier
personally I have wanted to give back to our service men and women for a long
time now. The sacrifices they and their families make to insure our safety and freedom is such a gift. I wanted to give a gift back. I just wasn't sure how to do it.
So I talked to some friends, I did some research and I came up
with some ideas. My Wee dogs are pretty popular so I decided perhaps a
Wee Military dog would be a good representative. Then I started thinking
about the correlation between dogs and the Military.
So meet Sgt. Woof. He is here to support two wonderful
organizations combining our U.S. military and dogs. America's VetDogs provides
service dogs, guide dogs and military therapy dogs to veterans and active duty
personnel in need. Nowzad is an organization that rescues stray and abandoned
dogs in Afghanistan particularly to reunite dogs who were "adopted"
by service personnel during their deployment and brings them to the U.S. to
live permanently with the "adopted parent" soldier.
If you adopt Sgt. Woof 20% of his purchase price will be split between these two organizations.
So if you love dogs and if you are grateful for all our service
men and women and their families, I would love to
send a Sgt. Woof (or two or ten) your way!
This is wonderful! What a heart-warming way to help!
