Petco Foundation’s Helping Heroes fundraising campaign benefits MWDTSA

Over the past few years, Petco Foundation has generously supplied MWDTSA with $5,000 annual grants to support our quarterly care packages.

These Petco Foundation investments help MWDTSA purchase items like thermometers, grooming wipes, water bowls and undercoat rakes, as well as helping to fund postage to ship these supplies to deployed teams.

Military working dogs protect our troops through explosives detection, tracking, patrolling, specialized search, and drug detection. They put their own lives at risk to save the lives of other soldiers and civilians every day. We have supported over 6,000 deployed MWD teams with care packages since 2006.

Please join us to learn more about MWDTSA and how Petco Foundation has made a difference for our organization.

      Hi Tommy! Our participation depends on where we have volunteers and RMWDs available to attend on our behalf. We checked into several Petco stores in the San Antonio area and unfortunately all of those were already booked by other nonprofit organizations.
