WE ARE HERE TO LISTEN.

At Paws and Stripes, everything we do is grounded in trust, respect, and a deep commitment to those we serve. We welcome feedback from our Veterans, families, partners, and community—it helps us grow and better fulfill our mission.

If you have a concern and feel it has not been fully addressed, are uncomfortable raising it through staff, or if it involves organizational leadership, you may reach out directly to our Board of Directors.
 

📩 chair@pawsandstripes.org


All concerns are handled with care and confidentiality. You will receive an acknowledgment within three business days, and the Board will thoughtfully review and respond in alignment with our governance practices.
