paws4vets and the Wounded Warrior Project Announce West Virginia Service Dog for Veterans Partnership

New Program Uses Shelter Rescued Dogs Saved from Euthanasia Rehabilitated and Trained by Federal Prison Inmates to HELP Veterans Recover from PTSD

 

The Wounded Warrior Project® [www.woundedwarriorproject.org ] and the paws4people^TM foundation [www.paws4people.org], in Strategic Partnership, announce the creation and implementation of:

The paws4vets^TM Program, a Morgantown, WV based, unique and dynamic, K-9 centered, recovery/intervention program for Veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) and/or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). This program primarily uses dogs rescued from shelters prior to their being euthanized.

The AfghanDogZ^TM Program, a Morgantown, WV based, program designed to bring dogs from the war zone in Afghanistan to the United States. These dogs were adopted by American soldiers serving in Afghanistan. Some soldiers are able to bring the dogs they adopted home (to the U.S.) while others are not. These remaining dogs then become available to the AfghanDogZ Program.
