Paws Of War Makes Presentation To Legislature

On Monday, August 26th, the Nesconset-based non-profit Paws of Wars gave a presentation in front of the Suffolk County Legislature’s Veterans Committee. The purpose of the presentation was to spread awareness of the organization so that anyone who knows a veteran, active military member, or first responder that is in need of a service dog can get in contact with the non-profit. The presentation was led by Mike Kilano and James Donohue of Paws of War.

Paws of Wars’ stated mission is to “honor and support our veterans, active military members, and first responders with services that enrich their lives through the rescue and training of service dogs for independence, adoption of companion animals, rescue of overseas animals in war zones, and other essential services to assist our heroes in need.” Through their organizational efforts, they have rescued over 600 cats and dogs, and have provided hundreds of service-members with support animals.

If you, or anyone you may know, are a veteran, active service member, or a first responder, and may benefit from a service animal, you can go to pawsofwar.org for more information.
