During this joyful holiday season, Paws of War is dedicated to spreading happiness and gratitude by delivering essential supplies to U.S. military dog handlers and their K-9 companions stationed abroad.

Located in Nesconset, N.Y., this time of year is all about generosity and appreciation, and Paws of War is inviting everyone to participate in a heartwarming mission. They aim to send thoughtful care packages to military K-9 teams overseas and are reaching out to the community for support.

Derek Cartwright, a U.S. Army veteran and the international logistics coordinator for Paws of War, expressed, "We are all so honored to help support them in doing what they do for our country." He encourages those wishing to contribute to join in this meaningful effort.

The spirit of giving is further highlighted by Giving Tuesday, reminding us to extend our generosity during this special time and beyond. Paws of War is seeking donations of any amount to assist in creating care packages filled with useful items such as sun goggles, socks for handlers, Kong toys for the K-9s, hydrating drinks, cooling fans, and protective booties for the dogs.

While it can be challenging for individuals to make a significant impact alone, coming together with Paws of War amplifies our ability to bring joy and support to military personnel. By collaborating on this mission, we can help these dedicated individuals feel connected to home, uplift their spirits, and provide essential supplies that brighten their days. This initiative also fosters a wonderful sense of community between military members and civilians.

"This is a great time to get in on the mission and excellent care packages that they are going to use and love," Cartwright said, inviting everyone to contribute in any way they can.

Paws of War is committed to assisting active-duty soldiers and veterans in a variety of meaningful ways. They have successfully relocated pets for military members, supported veterans facing challenges like suicide prevention, and provided service dogs, companion animals, and even veterinary care. With a strong and loyal supporter base, Paws of War is eager to partner with new corporate sponsors to bolster their life-saving programs.
