Heather York hasn't added a story.
My name is Heather and I run a good-faith based program called Operation Pooches for Vets. We are not for profit but do not have our 501c3 and do not have any source of funding. We rely solely on donors for their puppies, training services and transportation.
We are looking to get this puppy to his veteran! About the veteran:
Sgt. Cilento is currently serving in the United States Army Reserve and will be retiring in three short years. He suffers from PTSD among other issues. He served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. He is also in college studying Art and Outdoor Recreation with a minor in Writing. Having a puppy from our program would help him with his anxiety, which is extremely difficult for him. He would like a puppy/dog candidate to be capable of training for therapy and/or service dog work.
If you would like to see Chris on the organization webpage and read his letter of recommendation, please visit this link http://www.ruffneckbulldogges.com/#!operation-pooches-for-vets/c1b55.
We have successfully matched Sgt. Cilento with a puppy pictured above! Ironhead Kennels is donating this lovely dog and Operation Pooches for Vets works with the recipient to find transportation and training resources.
We need around $350 to successfully get this puppy from Ohio to New York as soon as possible so they can bond or begin training. Because part of the money is retained as a fee by the payment company, the goal amount is $400 to ensure we get the full $350 needed.
Thank you for taking the time to read Chris' story! If you donated, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Giving keeps the world going and our veterans deserve it!
God Bless,
Heather York
