The Pack Behind Paws and Stripes
Our team is united by a shared passion of supporting Veterans, Military Service Members, and their loved ones as well as improving the lives of rescue dogs. We bring extensive professional experience, a deep commitment to our mission, and, for some of us, lived experience as Veterans or family members of Veterans.
