Join us in supporting Doghouse2Heroes on their cross-country journey to gift a custom-built doghouse to retired Command Sergeant Major Gretchen Evans and her service dogs. Gretchen and her service dogs Rusty, Kermit, and Aura will receive this special gift thanks to the generosity of supporters during the Be a Hero for a Hero event. This journey will cover over 1,000 miles, and we invite you to follow along on Instagram @doghouse2heroes to see the inspiring moments and supporters they meet along the way. Your donations will help cover the costs of the trip and support the sponsorship of 10 service dogs for military veterans. Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a big impact in the lives of these veterans and their furry companions. Let's come together to give back to those who have sacrificed so much for our country.
