I believe in what they are doing 100% and love what they do. Only complaint I have is trying to get them to fix my name is like talking to a brick. When I first started with them they had it right, and then one day they picked up my store name off of PayPal. I tried and tried to get them to stop using that, to stupid. Called the charity that they work with and thought it was fixed, and for a while it was...now part of it is back again. Inept when it comes to this. Glad the animals make it but heaven forbid the name or country is wrong, they can't seem to make a proper correction
From the moment I stepped foot into Paws of War's world, I knew I had found my calling. The organization's dedication to rescuing animals while supporting veterans touched my heart, and I couldn't wait to contribute to their mission. As a volunteer, I've had the privilege of experiencing countless fulfilling moments and making a real difference in the lives of both animals and heroes.
Working in the kennel with the animals has been both heartwarming and humbling. From cleaning their living spaces to feeding and exercising them, every task is an opportunity to show these animals love and care. The wagging tails and grateful looks in their eyes make it all worth it. Providing them with companionship in their time of need is incredibly rewarding, and I've found solace in knowing I'm making a difference in their lives.
When my husband was diagnosed with a stroke in 2014, we were shocked. He was only 65 years old. We knew that he would need help getting around and being independent again, but I never expected him to be admitted to a nursing home as a full-time resident at such a young age.
I always wanted to adopt a service/therapy dog but I did not know where to begin. I learned about Paws of War from a news segment on News12 and decided to give them a call. They explained the process to me, I filled out the application and provided all the necessary paperwork and was granted a beautiful female Australian Sheperd. Scarlet will be trained to become a service/therapy dog for my husband. I shared pictures of her with my husband and he is very excited to meet her. I feel that it gave him a purpose again and something to look forward too. I was beyond grateful to learn that from the adoption, to all the wellness shots, the spaying, and the training was completely free. This organization truly does help both ends of the leash and I cannot thank them enough for all that they had provided not only to my husband but also myself as well!
I have been a supporter of Paws of War. They are a grass roots organization that is always there to help veterans, first responders and animals in need. They certainly do not get enough credit for all of the work they do.
Paws of War is an excellent organization!!! They are one big family that I am honored to be a part of. My Service Dog Liberty is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I have Paws of War to thank for her. Helping Veterans and first responders is their main goal, and they excel at it. Thank you Rob and Dori for all that you do!!!
I first found out about Paws of War in June of 2018 while volunteering with Long Island Cares - another organization that provides assistance and support services to veterans. I began following Paws of War on social media, and decided to pay a visit to their recent grand opening in Nesconset to find out about opportunities to volunteer. Immediately I knew that this was an organization I would like to give my time and efforts to. In the short time that I have spent with them so far, they have welcomed me to their family and I have had the pleasure of observing several of their training classes. Rebecca, the head trainer is amazing and she is so kind and supportive in her approach to both the dogs and veterans & first responders alike. Their new location provides a comfortable space that facilitates learning, acceptance, and positivity for such important work to take place. I look forward to helping this organization grow and evolve as it continues to provide such critical support to so many deserving individuals.
I was introduced to Paws of War by a friend who had received a service dog. He had fell ill and needed long term hospitalization. I fostered his service dog and found a great deal of relief and comfort dealing with my own ptsd issues. I applied and was welcomed to the paws of war family. Today I have a fully trained dog that assists me daily. I have also become pretty intergrated with the organization volunteering my time. Doing this also helps me maintain a continuity in my life. I love helping other veterans.
Paws of war is an amazing organization that helps veterans and first responders I am one of those veterans paws of war presented me with shadow.
