We got a wonderful report on how Gunner and Striker are doing spending some time with their Marine Veterans Wayne and Brian. They are making a BIG difference already.
We still have Vinnie for Veterans t-shirts that will help support these dogs. Vinnie says, " They good doggos like me."

I enjoyed getting to meet Christine and see Cole again. He's getting so big! I enjoyed getting to visit with all the ladies at Thurber-Greenwood VFW Post 1916 Auxiliary. They sponsored service dog (Finn)Cole. THANK YOU!! Thank you to Ketchums and ALL of you that donated to the Vinnie for Veterans fundraiser for Cole. Thank you Yvonne for all your hard work taking care of him before he was ready to leave mom Daisy. Denise thank you for training him. Now on to helping sponsor our next dogs. It takes a team. Who is in?

THIS is why I want to help fund another dog, or two or. 😁

Denise, thank you for my Vinnie. My knee was bothering me and it reminded me how good he was when I had to go in the ambulance to the hospital. He wanted to jump in the back right away but he knew when I released him to the EMT he needed to wait. He helped me so much in the ambulance and the ER. During my last surgery, he knew he needed to stay with Mom and Dad, when I went back to surgery . Thank you for training him so well that when he is released to certain people he is such a good dog. Everywhere we go people think he is the best trained dog. I agree. Thank you for what you do. What you do changes lives forever.
P.S. Here's Vinnies goofy personality shining through.

It's hard to tell the brothers apart and it's hard to tell the puppies apart. It's so neat that Gunner and Striker( named change from Betty) who are littermates are going to Wayne and his Brother Brian. They both served in the Marines!
If you want to help support these dogs, send me a message and I'll give you the info.

Gunnar and his sister Betty who are being trained with their Veterans they will be going to.

People have asked me how Finn is doing. Here he is getting some exercise. He's now named Cole! He's getting so big. Thanks for the video Christine.

Vinnie says it looks nice out. Let's go for a walk. We need to visit somebody. Let's get another doggo like me to a veteran.

YES!

This adorable blue healer mix, Mr. Pickles has gone to a deserving veteran thanks to the amazing fundraising efforts of Delta Beer Lab, their customers and supporters. Delta Beer Lab sponsors one non profit every month. Ketchum’s Got Your Six was chosen for the month of November, but because they wanted to raise all the funds necessary to sponsor Mr. Pickles, they generously continued with us through the month of December and raised $12,176 to provide Mr. Pickles to a deserving veteran. Today, thanks to the generosity of Delta Beer Lab and their amazing customers and supporters, Mr. Pickles is providing companionship and service to a veteran suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury and PTSD. Together through partnerships, we can accomplish amazing things!!

Yes. Mr Pickles!

Meet Mr. Pickles! Mr. Pickles is a neutered Miniature Blue Healer born on May 15, 2021. He is being trained by Denise Wenz from Poppy & Friends, Service Dogs for Veterans. All dogs go through basic training to serve as service dogs and then through training specifically for the veterans needs.

Mr. Pickles will be going to a Marine veteran, Chaise Hovey, who served from 2017-2019. Due to injuries, Chaise was unable to complete his full enlistment. It was discovered that Chaise had bruises on his brain, resulting in Traumatic Brain Injury. Due to that injury, Chaise suffers from Grand Mal seizures. Mr. Pickles will receive additional training to assist Chaise with these injuries as well as his PTSD. Your contributions will provide Chaise with the dog he needs, giving Chaise lifesaving service from Mr. Pickles. He’ll be able to sense Chaises seizures before Chaise realizes one is coming on.

Service dogs provide lifesaving companionship to our veterans in need. We will, one veteran at a time, bring the 22 veterans a day who die by su***de down to 0.

We have passed the $6,000 mark and are over halfway to our $10,000 goal to sponsor Mr. Pickles and Chaise.
