NESCONSET, NY — Nesconset nonprofit Paws of War is on a mission to help an overseas soldier take her two dogs back to Montana with her.

"Being stationed overseas when you are in the military can leave you longing for home," the organization said via news release. "One of the great things that happen to soldiers is when they are able to befriend a stray dog. Sergeant Corina Kimball knows all too well the joy that it brings while she is there. But she also knows the heartache of having to leave them behind when it comes time to returning to the U.S., which has made her desperate to get them back home with her."

Kimball turned to Paws of War, as the organization helps soldiers relocate their dogs when it comes time for them to head back to the United States.

"We know how important these relationships are to our soldiers and how the dogs help them get through challenging times," Robert Misseri, co-founder of Paws of War, said. "We also know how important it is that they get to bring the dogs home with them. We make it our mission to ensure that it happens, but we can't do it alone. We need the public to help contribute to this mission if we are to be successful with it."

Those who would like to donate to help Kimball bring the dogs home can do so here.
