To Honor our Veterans
In honor of Veterans Day, we’re raising money for Warrior Canine Connection. WCC utilizes a Mission Based Trauma Recovery (MBTR) model to help recovering veterans reconnect with life, their families, their communities, and each other. Their program has veterans training service dogs for other veterans, so more lives are impacted through the training process. We’re hoping to raise $10,000 for Warrior Canine Connection. Help us honor our veterans today by making a donation through The Dogist Fund – 100% of donations will go to training these future PTSD service dogs.
