## Story

The team at Scoop Soldiers, the pet waste removal franchise which aims to help pet owners and their four-legged friends by taking on the dirty work of pet ownership, has always set out to support the Veteran community. Part of those philanthropic efforts is the brand’s partnership with the Valor Service Dogs program.

Valor Service Dogs is a non-profit organization based in Tampa, FL that helps wounded Veterans and first responders rebuild their independence through mobility assistance and PTSD service dogs. Dogs are trained by the organization as emotional and physical support animals.

Because many Veterans and first responders face mental and physical disabilities from their time serving, the Valor dogs are specifically trained to help their owners regain independence by helping with day-to-day tasks in and around the home. Valor Service Dogs also brings awareness and education to the general public on service dogs, their training and the laws that allow service dogs to be active members of society.

Scoop Soldiers makes a monthly donation to the organization to sponsor service dogs for 20-24 months of training and boarding to prepare them for their forever home with a deserving military or first responder family. Once the dog is adopted, Scoop Soldiers also offers the family free pet waste removal services for life.

Valor Service Dogs’ commitment to military and first responder families inspired the company to be involved on a more regular basis. Since sponsoring the first dog, Hunter, Scoop Soldiers has donated over $50,000 and is currently sponsoring its third dog named Daisy May.

Valor Service Dogs is now in the midst of an expansion project that will allow the organization to breed its own purpose-driven dogs. The new whelping room – which is on track to be completed later this year – and the first litter of puppies will be named after Scoop Soldiers in honor of the brand’s donations.

“This partnership has meant so much to Scoop Soldiers. We are truly honored to be able to support the Veteran community,” said Josh Cahill, CEO of Scoop Soldiers. “We plan to be even more involved in the future and want to support Valor Service Dogs wherever we can as they tackle their newest facility expansion efforts.”
