EntirelyPets.com is dedicated to helping the community and working with a variety of charitable causes including the National Breast Cancer Foundation, American Cancer Foundation, North Shore Animal League American and more. In honor of Veteran’s Day, we would like to share the various military causes that we help.
EntirelyPets.com is helping non-profitable organizations such as Operation Shasta, Search Dog Foundation and Operation Military Pride supply items such as Doggles, cooling bandanas, Canine Cooler Beds, toys, chews and medicines to working dogs in Iraq.
Military working dogs in Iraq perform all kinds of jobs in the heat and sandstorms just like soldiers. Despite such harsh conditions, these loyal companions continue to serve and obey.
Nancy Oleksy, chairman of Operation Shasta in Colorado, collects donations to buy the supplies the working dogs desperately need in Iraq. So far, 65 shipments have been sent to help 100 out of the 200 dogs in the country.
It all began when Nancy wanted to find a way help her son serving in Baghdad. She decided to help the military working dogs in July, after seeing them on TV. By August, she started a fundraiser with her family and friends, and eventually began asking businesses for donations. Through primarily word of mouth, this non-profit organization sends supplies, medicine, and training equipment to military dogs in the Army and the Air Force. Next, she is hoping to send aid to Marine dogs. By helping the dogs who work to protect the soldiers, Nancy has also developed a way to help her son and the rest of the soldiers serving in Iraq.
Another organization that is working to send packages and letters to our troops in Iraq is Operation Military Pride. The organization started in 2003 and continues to send much needed supplies and support to service members and their K-9 companions. Recently, EntirelyPets donated supplies such as Joint Treats, Otiderm Ear Cleansers, dental chews, shampoos, toys and more to the K-9 units.
EntirelyPets.com is also actively involved in Search Dog Foundation (SDF). Started in 1996 SDF has helped in major disasters including the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombings, September 11th and most recently Hurricane Katrina. Since then SDF has also responded to tornadoes, earthquakes, train wrecks, and building collapses. One way that EntirelyPets.com has given back is through donating 10% of proceeds of the Barkin Black Bettie to the organization.
At EntirelyPets.com, we're doing our job so that the dogs can do theirs. We offer discounted products to a variety of charitable causes and are sending product donations to help the U.S. Military dogs on their tour of duty in Iraq.
