Help Bring TWO Military Working Dogs Home

Every day, Military Working Dogs (MWDs) risk their lives to protect our service members. These four-legged heroes ask for nothing — but give everything.

Now, two extraordinary dogs, MWD Erika and MWD Axel, need your help to come home.

MWD Erika, a Belgian Malinois, spent seven years on active duty, from New Jersey to Vietnam, building an unbreakable bond with her handler, SSgt Tara. Arthritis and spinal issues are forcing her into retirement — and Tara dreams of giving her the gentle, love-filled home she’s earned.

MWD Axel, a steadfast German Shepherd, served in South Korea with SrA Robert, protecting U.S. personnel. Now nearly 10, Axel deserves to spend his golden years with the only human who truly understands him.

Reuniting these heroes with their handlers requires transportation, medical care and logistical support — and your compassion makes it possible.

Your gift today helps:

  • Reunite MWDs like Erika and Axel with their beloved handlers
  • Provide lifelong veterinary care for retired MWDs
  • Pair healing service dogs with veterans and first responders through our Pups4Patriots™ program
  • Rescue animals in disasters and crises across the country
  • Helps protect animals everywhere through humane standards of care

Erika stood by Tara. Axel stood by Robert. Now, they need you to stand with them. With your support, they can finally be home — this time, for good.
