ICYMI: Nesconset Org. Aims To Reunite Rescued Dogs With Soldiers

NESCONSET, NY — Paws of War, a Nesconset-based nonprofit, is aiming to reunite eight dogs that were rescued with the soldiers who helped them, according to a news release.

U.S. soldiers stationed in the Middle East found two families of dogs, which included six puppies, according to Paws of War. They nursed them to health, bonded with them, and couldn't imagine leaving them there most likely to die when they deploy back to America. Paws of War successfully rescued the dogs back to the U.S., and now need help getting the dogs to their forever homes with the soldiers who saved them across the U.S.

"These are special dogs and we want to ensure that they get to the soldiers who rescued and bonded with them," said Dereck Cartright, a disabled veteran who is the stateside logistics coordinator at Paws of War, via news release. "Doing so comes with a high cost, for these soldiers the joy of having these dogs safe is priceless. So we need the help of the public to ensure that this mission is seen through."

Donations can be made on the Paws of War website.
