Patriot PAWS Service Dogs Ambassador Sharon Scott and Puppy Raiser and Army veteran Paula Sterling (along with a puppy in training!) will be our guest speakers. The mission of Patriot PAWS is to train and provide Service Dogs of the highest quality at no cost to disabled American Veterans in order to help restore their physical and emotional independence. The Patriot PAWS story is not only interesting, but it will tug at your heartstrings! They will discuss how this wonderful non-profit operates, how the dogs are trained and give a demonstration of the many things that the dog can do for our veterans to make their lives better.
