Petco Foundation Check Presentation to Missouri Patriot Paws
The above photos of the check presentation from the Petco Foundation for $8,000 to Missouri Patriot Paws (MPP) were taken at the Washington, MO, Petco in October 2019. Petco also graciously allowed MPP to conduct a graduation ceremony for three service dog teams during the same event.
Petco has consistently supported Missouri Patriot Paws since 2016. Grants provided through the Petco Foundation‘s Helping Heroes program have been vital in allowing Missouri Patriot Paws to carry on its mission of providing trained service dogs to Missouri’s veterans and first responders. All funds from the grants were used to pay for training costs, veterinarian bills and supplies for training service dog teams.
From 2016 to 2019, Missouri Patriot Paws has received grants totaling $20,500. Thanks to the Petco Foundation’s generous and continued support, 12 dogs graduated from service dog training in 2019. Currently, there are 14 dogs in training or scheduled to start training in 2020. The remaining funds from the Petco Foundation grant received in October 2019 will be applied to 2020 training costs.

Matthew Weisaar made a donation to Missouri Patriot Paws before he passed away on September 11, 2014. His mother wanted to honor her son by raising enough funds to pay for the training of Daniel Stoner’s dog, Matty. Matty was trained at the Bowling Green Prison in the Puppies for Parolee Program. After Daniel adopted Matty they continued their training with MPP trainer, Jessi Queen in Rolla.
Daniel Weisaar wanted to help another veteran with his donation to MPP. Not only did he help Daniel Stoner but he will help other veterans at the Gasconade Veteran’s Memorial Campground that Daniel is developing on the Gasconade River in Richland, MO. Missouri Patriot Paws is happy to honor Matthew Weisaar. |
Mary Hempstead Lisa Chapter DAR raised funds for MPP
Mary Hempstead Lisa Chapter DAR raised funds for Missouri Patriot Paws.
Daughters gathered in prayer led by chapter Chaplain Marion Howells; recited
the Daughter’s Pledge led by Daughter, Selena Levitt, in sisterhood; listened
to an informative talk from Missouri Patriot Paws founder, Susan Hinkle,
introduced by Regent Dayna Bischof; stretched to a fun warm up routine by
Daughter,Tommi Rogers; walked together; delighted in being with each other and
their families, and took part in “Celebrating America!”
The highlight of the event was the opportunity for Daughters to meet
veterans, Justin and Todd, and their service dogs, Duke and Angel. Justin, a
combat veteran, suffering from PTSD hoped for a service dog to assist in his
recovery. He specifically wanted a German Shepherd. As fate would have it, a
German Shepherd named Angel had just come to Missouri Patriot Paws within a day
of Justin’s inquiry! Todd’s best pal is Duke. Duke was abandoned on a highway
and rescued from a shelter. Now, Duke is rescuing everyone he meets!
We would like thank the Petco Foundation for the grant for the funds raised during our Helping Heroes in store-fundraising campaign.
