Save a dog, save a veteran: Donated shoes help shelter dogs become service dogs
An organization dedicated to turning shelter dogs into service dogs for veterans needs your help. Healing Paws for Warriors is asking residents to donate their used or new shoes to help raise money to train more service dogs for vets who suffer from post-traumatic stress or have a traumatic brain injury. The shoes will eventually make their way to people in third-world countries for re-use. It costs about $5,000 to train a service dog for duty.
