Puppy Jake Foundation

We are blessed with supporters who go above and beyond in so many ways. Since 2023, Corey Taylor, singer, songwriter and known for his work with Slipknot, has been stepped up many times to show his support for our mission of training service dog for veterans. Most recently, he narrated the Iowa PBS documentary "Dogs of Service" that features our work. Recently, he stopped by to catch up on our work. Thanks to Elias Johnson for capturing it.

Thanks to the generosity of Cargill in Eddyville, Iowa, Lynch (golden in the dark collar) is beginning his service dog in training journey today. Lynch, along with 10 other puppies from breeders across the country, is headed to his foster home today and will begin classes next week. It takes two years and countless volunteer hours to get him ready for his veteran. We appreciate the continued support from our friends at the Eddyville plant.

Thank you to Royal Flooring for hosting the 2024 Santa Benefit. This long-time benefit hosted by some of best people you will ever meet is TONIGHT! It is a great chance to get the family out for some fun activities and time with Santa. Plus, they'll get to learn more about Puppy Jake and how service dogs help veterans.

Since 2014, we have been raising service dogs for wounded veterans. We have placed more than 50 dogs and are working hard to place even more. In just few short days the first round of 2025 puppies will be arriving to start their journey. We cannot be excited to welcome them.

Thanks to our friend and Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard for drawing attention to Puppy Jake and the need for service dogs for veterans. And, thanks to the National Football League (NFL) for bringing attention to important causes across the country with #mycausemycleats.

Happy Thanksgiving! We have a lot to be thankful for at PJF. The belief in our mission of providing service dogs to wounded veterans is inspiring and critical to our ongoing success.

Today is National Service Dog Day. We salute individuals, families, organizations and corporate sponsors who help raise and train Puppy Jake dogs for our veterans. What we do is so necessary and impactful, and we couldn’t do it without you. To learn more, visit our website at puppyjakefoundation.org https://lnkd.in/gejgMQEi
