From wagging tails to wet noses, we all know dogs have a way of bringing boundless joy into our lives. As their loyal companions, it’s our responsibility to ensure their well-being and happiness.

As the cold and rainy season continues to get colder and rainier, pets and pet owners alike may be reluctant to brave the elements and go outdoors for much more than a walk.

Paws for Purple Hearts is so honored to have been selected as one of the beneficiaries of the Coalition for Government Procurement’s (CGP) 10th Annual Joseph P. Caggiano Memorial Golf Tournament.
