WCC Dog Days of Summer

It was a paws-itively great day at WCC’s Healing Quarters as we recently hosted our very first Dog Days of Summer celebration! From zoomie-worthy dog races to splash zones, frozen treats and dazzling performances by our friends at Luna Aerial Dance & Performing Arts, the day was filled with pure joy for pups and people alike.

But beyond the fun and wagging tails, Dog Days of Summer was designed with a dual purpose: to celebrate the incredible volunteers and Puppy Raisers who make our mission possible and to open our doors to new faces in the community. This event offered an open house feel, inviting guests to learn more about how they can get involved and help nurture future service dogs who change the lives of Veterans with visible and invisible wounds.

To all of you already part of our pack, we say an enormous THANK YOU! Your time, love and commitment truly make a life-changing difference. And whether you joined us for the event and felt the pull of puppy love—or you’re just discovering our mission now—there’s always room for you in our growing pack. WCC is always in need of more caring Puppy Raisers and volunteers. If you’re ready to unleash your impact, we’d love to have you join our team! Learn more and fill out an application here.
