From Anne: I received the following letter from Dennis Blocker, the author of “Dogs of 2 Wars”
Hello Anne,
As I mentioned to you on the phone, we here at "Dogs Of 2 Wars" would like to donate to your K9 Hero Haven Rescue Organization $1.00 from every book we sell of the book my son and I wrote titled, "The Dogs I've Known In 2 Wars." Which as you know, the book was written to bring Honor and Glory to those CWD I worked with in Iraq and in the remote mountains of Afghanistan.
I was responsible for the supervision and training for 38 of these CWDs between these two war-torn countries. They were awesome War Dogs! My book tells of their individual bravery, fear, and fun times while in War.
I've trained many Police and War Dogs over the years and am thrilled to know we can donate funds to help you with your needs for them, in giving them great and happy lives.
We will send you a check once a month, the funds will vary, it depends on how well sales are going of the book, it varies from day-to-day.
Respectively,
Dennis Blocker
Author & Founder of "Dogs Of 2 Wars"
HUGE EXPANSION NEWS!!
We have found a builder and an engineer for our new building project that we hope to complete in 2021!!
We are excited to be working with TWC Construction (TerWisscha Construction) and Livic Civil Engineering, to determine the site details and perhaps add to the elevated location that will hopefully provide an amazing view.
We have an anonymous donor willing to match $5,000 in donations to our building fund. Below is the 3D design which includes 24 in-and-out kennel runs for our retired working dogs here at K9 Hero Haven. Most of these dogs are “aggressive“ and are not easily adopted. Some of them we have saved from being euthanized. They have provided years of service and are now looking for a retirement home. This new building would be able to help provide them the best retirement home possible. They have protected us for years doing what they do best.
With your help, added to our anonymous matching donation, we can make a difference. It would help give them the closest thing to a retirement home that they so much deserve.
We have 52 retired working dogs in our care that are living here in our kennels and retirement center. As of Dec 2020, we have adopted 293 retired working dogs into homes.
To donate: you can click on the "Donate" button on this page, donate on our K-9 Hero Haven Facebook building fundraiser, or you can send a check to the address listed at the bottom of the page.
"We greatly appreciate your love, help, and support. From the bottom of my heart, I thank each and every one of you. We couldn’t do what we do without you!!" - Anne
