PALE HORSE COFFEE DRIVE

Purchase this 12-ounce bag of “First Bite” coffee, and Pale Horse ships it directly to MWDTSA for inclusion in an upcoming care package. Or, you can buy “First Bite” for yourself, and Pale Horse will donate a portion of the proceeds to MWDTSA.  Win-win.

SOLEDIER SOCK PROGRAM

A HEARTFELT THANK YOU!

Dita’s Donation Drop 2021 holiday toy drive was a huge success!!!

This year, individual supporters donated 718 toys. USA-K9 matched these, two-for-one. The event yielded 2,154 sturdy rubber toys, with a retail value of $34,464!

This 2021 drive enabled MWDTSA to ship gifts to 135 U.S. military kennels around the globe for the holiday season. The remainder will go in 2022 care packages and to base visits.

MWDTSA is excited that Justin and USA-K9 offered to help again this year! THANK YOU for your generous support of the military working dog community!
