War Dogs: The Unsung Heroes

I’ve had several people ask me for a URL regarding this effort, so here goes.  This is a description of the effort of my Junior Girl Scout troop.  They are working to raise awareness for the dogs in the War in Afghanistan.  The dogs are sent over with very limited supplies.  The girls are raising awareness and are encouraging nearby Cypress residents and Girl Scout troops to consider sending a box of supplies to the dogs.

Boxes may be purchased directly from the US Military K-9 Fund.  The organization gathers the items, packs and ships the items.

 You can help the dogs overseas by buying a box of items needed for the dogs.  Boxes include the following types of items (depending on season, etc.):

  • Cooling vests and mats to keep the dogs cooler
  • Doggles to keep sand out of the dogs eyes
  • Boots to help the dogs negotiate hot sand
  • Dental care including toothbrushes and toothpaste
  • Shampoo, clippers, brushes for grooming
  • Eye wash, wipes for feet, salve for feet, Q-Tips
  • Toys and treats

 

Over 600 dogs actively serve in our military.

Our troop’s goal is to send boxes to 20 dogs!
