We are so excited for the upcoming Paws of War 5K hosted by the Knights of Columbus in support of our mission to help veterans, first responders, and rescue animals through our service dog programs. This event is a meaningful way to bring the community together while supporting those who have sacrificed so much for our country. Paws of War is incredibly honored to be a part of the Suffolk County Veteran Run Series, and we are grateful to the Knights of Columbus and all participants for standing alongside our mission of “saving both ends of the leash.”
