Simply Good Works

On September 7th in San Jose, Simply Good Works is hosting their 7th Annual Veteran’s Celebration: “Casino Royale” in support of Paws for Purple Hearts and other Veteran organizations. Join us for a spectacular evening of music, dancing, gaming, great food & spirits.

Visit Simply Good Works website or call 408-840-1694 to learn more.

Puppy Parents Needed!

Puppy Parents play a crucial role in in the life of a service dog by socializing the dog to new environments, experiences, and people. Puppies’ minds are like sponges and the experiences that a service dog has early in life are critical to its later development and behavior. Not only will raising a service puppy be fun and exciting for you, it helps us to further our mission to provide highly trained service dogs to Service Members and Veterans with disabilities.

If you think you may be the right fit, apply here.

Not only can you support our mission by donating from our wishlist, but when you shop at smile.amazon, Amazon donates to Paws for Purple Hearts.
