Area Girl Scouts Support War Dogs
You may have recently seen the story on ABC News about the War Dog involved in finding Osama bin Laden.
Such dogs have been the focus for a recent Girl Scout Troop, Troop 14252 in Cypress.
Girl Scout Troop 14252
The girls, working on the Bronze Award for Girl Scouts, have been working to raise awareness for the US Military K-9 Fund. This organization sends care packages to the military working dogs deployed with our soldiers. Like their handlers, they need extra goodies from home. The boxes include items such as special socks and boots to keep the animals’ feet protected from the 160 degree summer Afghanistan sands, doggles, dog goggles, special grooming items and treats.
In addition to raising awareness about the plight of the dogs serving the U.S., the girls also made dog beds for the US Military K-9 Fund to sell at craft shows. The monies the organization raises are used to ship packages to the dogs.
So far, the girls have raised enough awareness in their neighborhood to get about 12 boxes of supplies sent overseas.
If you are interested in buying a box of supplies for the dogs, email julesmontgo@gmail.com.
